Installing a Hard Disk Drive
Each chassis can accommodate two 4U server trays. Each server tray can accommodate
eight SFF hard disk drives for a maximum of 32 SFF hard disk drives per chassis.
CAUTION: Drives can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling
drives, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity.
To install a SFF HDD into the tray:
1. Install the SFF HDD in the HDD cage.
2. Press the cam latch to secure the SFF HDD to the HDD cage.

Installing a Memory Module
The following guidelines must be followed when memory modules are being added
or replaced:
• Support 12 DDR3 240-pin RDIMM (SR, DR, QR) or UDIMM (SR, DR)
slots(6 DIMMs per CPU).
• RDIMM = Registered DIMM; UDIMM = Unbuffered DIMM.
• Channel 0 is located furthest to processor, followed by channel 1 then channel 2.
• DIMM 0 is the furthest from the processor of the two DIMMs in a given channel.
• Single RDIMM capacity up to 16GB; Single UDIMM Capacity up to 2GB.
• Speed is 800 MHz, 1067 MHz, 1333 MHz depending on the DIMM population.
• DIMM voltage is 1.5V and LV 1.35V.
• Support all valid DIMM congurations as long as the total node power is rated
below the maximum value.
Figure 7 DIMM slot population sequence
NOTE: The DIMM should be installed from the furthest A channel DIMM slot.
NOTE: HP recommends installing memory modules in pairs.
CAUTION: DIMMs can be damaged by improper handling. Always
use an anti-static wrist strap and grounding mat, and discharge static
electricity before touching DIMMs.
To install a memory module:
1. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the module with the keyed surface of the
DIMM slot and then press the module fully into the slot.
2.
Firmly press the holding clips inward to secure the memory module in place.
Figure 8 Installing a memory module
DIMM slots are structured to ensure proper installation. If you insert a DIMM but
it does not t easily into the slot, you may have inserted it incorrectly. Reverse the
orientation of the DIMM and insert it again.
Installing a Processor
The HP ProLiant SL390s G7 4U Half-width Server supports Intel Nehalem and
Westmere Processors High Wattage 95W,80W (Dual CPUs 64-bit), and Nehalem
Processors Low Wattage 60W and Westmere Processor Low Wattage 40W(Dual
CPUs 64-bit).
NOTE: If one processor is being installed, it should be installed in the socket
furthest from the IOH/chipset.

To install a processor:
CAUTION: Use the processor installation tool to insert the processor into
the socket. The processor and system board spare part kits contain the
processor installation tool and instructions on how to use the tool. It is
important to follow the instructions to prevent damage to the pins in the
processor socket.
1.
Open the processor retaining latch and the processor socket retaining bracket.
2. Remove the processor socket protective cover.
Figure 10 Removing the processor socket protective cover
IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the processor
installation tool.
3. If the processor has separated from the installation tool, carefully re-insert the
processor in the tool.
Figure 11 Installing a processor in the installation tool
4. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install the processor.
Figure 12 Installing a processor
5. Press down rmly until the processor installation tool clicks and separates from
the processor, and then remove the processor installation tool.
Figure 13 Removing the processor installation tool
6.
Close the processor socket retaining bracket and the processor retaining latch.
Figure 14 Closing the processor socket
For processor removal, reverse the above installation procedures.
To install the heatsink:
CAUTION: Heatsink screws should be tightened and loosened in
opposite sequence. Do not overtighten the screws as this can damage the
system board, connectors, or screws. A maximum torque of 6-8 in-lb is set
for the system.
CAUTION: Be sure that the heatsink sits squarely on the processor, or
overheating and damage to the processor may occur.
1. Position the heatsink on the processor backplate.
2. Tighten the rst screw about three quarters in, then tighten the second screw
completely.
3. Completely tighten the rst screw.
Figure 15 Installing the heatsink
IMPORTANT: If the heatsink 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 heatsink. Clean the contact surface of both
the processor and heatsink with an alcohol pad, then re-apply an HP-
approved thermal interface material before reinstalling the processor. Use
a pattern of ve dots when applying the thermal interface material—one
dot in the center, and one dot at each corner.
