HP ProLiant DL185 Generation 5 Server Installation Sheet

Opening the Server
The top cover and the top middle cover are detachable. You need
to remove the top cover before you can remove or replace a server
component. The top middle cover is removed to service the HDD PCA.
To remove the top cover:
1. Loosen the captive screw on the rear panel with a T-10 screwdriver.
2. Slide the cover approximately 1.25 cm (0.5 in) toward the rear of the
unit and then lift the cover to detach it from the chassis.
3. Lift the top cover away from the chassis.
Figure 7 Removing the top cover
To remove the top middle cover:
1. Forthe12HDDversion,removethevescrews(oneoneachsideofthe
chassis and three on the top middle cover) that secure the top middle
covertothechassiswithaT-15screwdriver.(gure8)
For the 8 HDD version, 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withaT-15screwdriver.(gure9)
2. Lift the top middle cover away from the chassis.

Installing a Hard Drive
The drive bays on the front panel can accommodate up to twelve hard
drives (12-drive models).
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 Front Optical Disk Drive
1. Align the optical drive in the carrier and install drive.
2. Secure the optical drive to the carrier with the two mounting screws.
3. Slide the optical drive assembly into the chassis.
4. Secure the optical drive to the chassis with the screw.

To route the ODD cable:
1. Connect the cable connector of the black part to the MB.
2.
Put the other part of cable through the cable hole.
3.
Connect the blue connector of the cable to the optical drive.

Installing a Memory Module
• Supportedconguration:
o Two DIMMs per processor : 1A, 2A for CPU1 ; 5C, 6C for CPU2.
o Four DIMMs per processor : 1A, 2A, 3B, 4B for CPU1 ; 5C, 6C,
7D, 8D for CPU2.
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“SystemBoardComponents”inthisdocumentfor
the 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 14 Installing a memory module
DIMM slots are structured to ensure proper installation. If you insert a
DIMM but it does not fit easily into the slot, you may have inserted it
incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the DIMM and insert it again.
Installing a Processor
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 15 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 16 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.
