AMD Processor Installation Instructions

First Edition (March 2005)

Part Number 381740-001

Locating the Processor Socket

The location of the server’s two AMD Opteron processor sockets

(U11 and U22) is shown in the figure below.

Installation Guidelines

When installing a processor, observe the following important

guidelines:

• Processor socket 1 (U22) must always be populated. If no

processor is installed in this socket, the system will fail to boot

and halt during POST. This error prevents the system from

functioning properly.

• Handle the processor and heat sink with care. Damage to either

may affect processor performance.

• The pins beneath the processor are very fragile. Do not bend or

damage them.

• Always use a new heat sink when replacing processors. Failure

to use new components can cause damage to the processor.

• Be sure that the server has the most recent ROM version.

Failure to flash the ROM before installing processors can cause

system failure.

Configuring the Processor

NOTE: The procedures described in this document assume that the server

is out of the rack and is positioned on a flat, stable surface.

IMPORTANT: Observe the pre- and post-installation procedures described

in later sections when configuring the processor.

CAUTION: Follow the ESD precautions listed in Chapter 2 of the

HP ProLiant DL145 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service

Guide when handling the processor and heat sink. You can

download a copy of this guide from the HP website at

http://www.hp.com/.

WARNING: Failure to properly turn off the server before you

open the server may cause serious damage as well as bodily

harm.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot

surfaces, allow the heat sink and the processor to cool before

touching them.

CAUTION: To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side during

installation/removal procedures, observe a diagonally opposite

pattern (an “X” pattern) when loosening and tightening the four

spring-loaded screws.

Pre-installation Procedures

Perform the instructions below before removing or installing a

processor.

1. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it.

2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the power supply cable

socket located on the server rear panel to eliminate the risk of

electrical shock.

3. Remove the top cover.

4. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that

prevent access to the air duct.

Removing the Processor

1. Perform the pre-installation procedures described in the

previous section.

2. Lift the air duct away from the processor sockets.

Keep it for reinstallation later.
