HP ProLiant SL390s G7 1U Half-width Server Installation Sheet

Installing a Processor
The HP ProLiant SL390s G7 1U Half-width Server supports Intel
Nehalem and Westmere Processors High Wattage
130W,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.
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor
locking lever prevents the processor from seating during
installation, leading to hardware damage.
1. Open the processor locking lever and the processor socket
retaining bracket. Do not remove the processor socket cover.
Figure 8 Opening the lever and bracket
IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the
processor installation tool.
2. If the processor has separated from the installation tool,
carefully re-insert the processor in the tool. Handle the
processor by the edges only, and do not touch the bottom of
the processor, especially the contact area.

3. Align the processor installation tool with the socket, and then
install the processor. THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE
VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED.
Figure 10 Installing a processor
CAUTION: THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY
FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. To avoid damage to
the system board:
• Never install or remove a processor without using the
processor installation tool.
• Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
• Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the
processor into the socket.
4. Press the tabs on the processor installation tool to separate it
from the processor, and then remove the tool.
