Installing a Hard Disk Drive
Each chassis can accommodate two server trays. Each server tray
can accommodate two LFF hard disk drives for a maximum of four
LFF hard disk drives per chassis. The server supports both SAS and
SATA hard disk 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 disk drive:
1. Unlock the HDD carrier latches.
2. Rotate the HDD carrier handle up.
3. Insert the HDD carrier and align the four pins.
4. Rotate the HDD carrier handle down.
5. Lock the HDD carrier latches.

Installing a Memory Module
The following guidelines must be followed when memory modules
are being added or replaced:
Support ZKPG DDR3 DIMMs using 1G, 2G, 4G, 8G DDR3 DRAMs.
• Supported configurations:
o One DIMM per processor: 8A for CPU1; 8A for CPU2.
o Three DIMMs per processor: 8A, 5B, 2C for CPU1; 8A,
5B, 2C for CPU2.
o Six DIMMs per processor: 8A, 7D, 5B, 4E, 2C, 1F for
CPU1; 8A, 7D, 5B, 4E, 2C, 1F for CPU2.
o Eight DIMMs per processor: 8A, 7D, 6G, 5B, 4E, 3H, 2C,
1F for CPU1; 8A, 7D, 6G, 5B, 4E, 3H, 2C, 1F 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.
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 6 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
The HP ProLiant SL2x170z G6 server supports Intel Nehalem 5500
Series Processors High Wattage 80W and Intel
Xeon 5600 Series
Processors High Wattage 130W, and Intel
Nehalem 5500 Series
Processors Low Wattage 60W and Intel
Xeon 5600 Series
Processors Low Wattage 40W.
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. Insert the processor in the tool.
2. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install
the processor.
3. Press down firmly until the processor installation tool clicks and
separates from the processor, and then remove the processor
installation tool.
4. Close the processor socket retaining bracket and the processor
retaining latch.
Figure 7 Installing a processor
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 first screw about three quarters in, then tighten the
second screw completely.
3. Completely tighten the first screw.
Figure 8 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 five dots when applying the
thermal interface material—one dot in the center, and one dot
at each corner.
