Installing a Second Processor
This section provides the instructions for installing a second processor and its
accompanying heatsink on the system board.
CAUTION The processor is sensitive to static electricity and can be easily
damaged by improper handling. Do the following when
handling the accessory kit:
• Leave the processor in the anti-static bag until you are ready
to install it.
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-dissipating
work surface or grounding mat connected to the chassis when
handling components.
• Before you remove a processor from the anti-static bag,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on the HP
Netserver LP 1000r to discharge static electricity.
1. Unpack the processor shipping box and check the contents against its packing
list.
CAUTION Do not remove the processor from its bag and ensure the bag
remains sealed until you are ready to install it.
2. If the Netserver is already installed and operating, shut down the NOS
according to directions in your NOS documentation.
3. Press the power switch on the HP Netserver's control panel when prompted by
the operating system.
Normally, this completes the shutdown procedure.
WARNING Power supplies will continue to provide standby current to the
Netserver until the power cables are disconnected.
4. Disconnect the AC power cord.
5. Gain access to the system board by following the appropriate instructions for
removing the chassis from the rack and removing the cover.
