ProLiant DL180 Generation 5 Server Installation Sheet

Toremovethetopmiddlecover:
1.
Remove the four screws (one on each side of the chassis and two on the top
middle cover) that secure the top middle cover to the chassis.
2.
Lift the top middle cover away from the chassis.
Figure 5 Removing the top middle cover
Installing a Hard Drive
The drive bays on the front panel can accommodate up to 12 hard
drives,depending on selected options. The server supports both SAS and SATA hard
drives.
CAUTION:
Drives can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling
drives, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity.
Toinstallaharddriveintheserver:
1.
Push the hard drive assembly into the drive bay until it stops.
2.
Press the HDD carrier latch inward until it clicks.

Installing a Memory Module
The following guidelines must be followed when memory modules are being added
orreplaced:
•
For 2P system, both physical processors must be of the same type and speed.
•
533/667 MHz Registered ECC DDR2 memory.
•
256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB DDR2 SDRAM memory technologies for x
4 and x 8 devices
• Memorycongurationguidelines:
o DIMMs are populated in identical pairs, starting with the pair of slots
1and2,thenslots3and4,andnallyslots5and6.
o Dual-rank DIMMs are only supported in slots 1 and 2.
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.
NOTE:
Refer to the hood label for DIMM locations.
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 7 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 DL180 G5 server supports Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
5100 Series
processors and Quad-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
5300 Series processors.
Toinstalltheprocessor:
1.
Insert the processor into the socket, using the key on the processor.
2.
Engage the retention plate and the load lever.
Figure 8 Installing a processor
For processor removal, reverse the above installation procedures.
CAUTION:
Align pin 1 on the processor with pin 1 on the processor
socket, or pin damage will occur.
Figure 9 Installing the heat sink assembly
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vedotswhenapplyingthethermalinterfacematerial—
one dot in the center, and one dot at each corner.
NOTE:
To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side during installation
removalprocedures,useadiagonallyoppositepattern(an“X”pattern)
when tightening the four spring-loaded screws. Do not over tighten the
heat sink’s spring-loaded screws to prevent them from breaking off.
