fails, the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a
processor failure message.
ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers use PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to
provide the proper power to each processor. Each PPM must be installed in the
slot adjacent to its processor.
Processor and PPM Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
internal system components to cool before touching.
CAUTION: Do not mix processors of different types or speeds.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly
ground yourself before beginning any installation procedure. See Appendix B,
“Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.
CAUTION: Processor socket 1 must be populated with a processor at all times.
The system fails to boot, halts during the POST, and does not function properly if
the socket is not populated.
CAUTION: PPM slots must be populated when processors are installed. If PPM
slots are not populated, the system does not function correctly.
Removing a Processor
To remove an existing processor:
1. Power down the server. See the “Powering Down the Server” section in
this chapter.
2. Remove the access panel. See the “Removing the Access Panel” section
in this chapter.
3. Remove the air baffle. See the “Removing the Air Baffle” section in this
chapter.
