HP ProLiant SL165s G7 Server Installation Instructions

Installing the Processor

To install the new processor:

1. Insert the processor in the tool.

2. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install the

processor.

Figure 8 Installing the processor

IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the

processor installation tool.

1. Press down firmly until the processor installation tool clicks and

separates from the processor, and then remove the processor

installation tool.

2. Close the processor socket retaining bracket and the processor

retaining latch

Figure 9 Removing the processor installation tool and close the

processor socket

For processor removal, reverse the above installation procedures.

To install the heat sink:

IMPORTANT: The one close to front panel is processor 1

and the other one is processor 2. During install the heat

sink, make sure to install heat sink 1(on the processor 1)

with 17 fin pitches, while heat sink 2(on the processor 2)

with 38 fin pitches.

1. Properly align the heat sink mounting pins to the system board

mounting holes.

2. Tighten the mounting pins clockwise to secure the heat sink

connection to the system board.

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

during installation/removal, turn each screw a couple of turns,

alternatively between both of them, and then apply the final

torque. Do not over tighten the spring loaded screws to prevent

them from breaking off. A maximum torque of 4.5 inch-lb is set

for each screw.

CAUTION: Be sure that the heat sink sits squarely on the

processor, or overheating and damage to the processor may

occur.

IMPORTANT: If the heat sink has been removed for any reason,

it is critical that you apply more thermal interface material to the

integrated heat spreader on the processor to ensure proper

thermal bonding between the processor and the heat sink.

Clean the contact surface of both the processor and heat sink

with an alcohol pad, then re-apply an HP-approved thermal

interface material before reinstalling the processor. Use a

pattern of five dots when applying the thermal interface

material—one dot in the center, and one dot at each corner.
