WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the
heatsink is removed from the processor after it has been installed.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade overheating, always populate processor sockets
with a processor and a heatsink or a heatsink blank.
IMPORTANT: Processor sockets 1 and 2 must always be populated. If either processor socket is
empty, the server blade does not power up.
To install a processor:

Locate and download the latest ROM version from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support).
Follow the instructions on the website to update the system ROM.
