for HP ProLiant DL140

Generation 2 Server

Locating the CPU Socket

The server’s dual mPGA604 (604-pin) sockets support Intel Xeon
800 MHz FSB processors. The location of the two CPU sockets
(U6 and U18) is shown in the figure below.

Installation Guidelines

When installing a processor, observe the following important
guidelines:

• Processor socket 0 (U6) must always be populated. If no

processor is installed in this socket, the system will fail to boot
and halt during POST. This error prevents the system from
functioning properly.

Read instructions completely before beginning
installation procedure.

Intel Processor Installation Instructions
First Edition (March 2005)

Part Number 381735-001

• Handle the processor and heat sink with care. Damage to either

may affect processor performance.

• The pins beneath the processor are very fragile. Do not bend or

damage them.

• Always use a new heat sink when replacing processors. Failure

to use new components can cause damage to the processor.

• Be sure that the server has the most recent ROM version.

Failure to flash the ROM before installing processors can cause
system failure.

Configuring the Processor

NOTE: The procedures described in this document assume that the server
is out of the rack and is positioned on a flat, stable surface.

IMPORTANT: Observe the pre- and post-installation procedures described
in later sections when configuring the processor.

CAUTION: Follow the ESD precautions listed in Chapter 2 of the

HP ProLiant DL140 Generation 2 Server Maintenance and Service
Guide when handling the processor and heat sink. You can

download a copy of this guide from the HP website at

Pre-installation Procedures

Perform the instructions below before removing or installing
a processor.

1. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it.

2. Unplug all cables from the power outlets to avoid exposure to

3. Disconnect telecommunication cables to avoid exposure to

4. Remove the top cover.

5. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that

WARNING: Failure to properly turn off the server before you
open the server may cause serious damage as well as
bodily harm.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the heat sink and the processor to cool before
touching them.

CAUTION: To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side during

installation/removal procedures, observe a diagonally opposite
pattern (an “X” pattern) when loosening and tightening the four
spring-loaded screws.

previous section.

Keep it for reinstallation later.

3. Locate the processor you want to remove.

4. Remove the heat sink:
a. Loosen the four spring-loaded screws a few threads out,

observing a diagonally opposite pattern, then loosen them
completely to release the heat sink from the processor base.

b. Lift the heat sink away from the system board.

5. Remove the processor:
a. Disengage the socket retention lever from the processor

base.

b. Grasp the processor by its edges and lift it out of its socket.

6. Place the processor on a static-dissipating work surface or
inside an anti-static bag.

Installing the Processor

1. Perform steps 1 and 2 of the “Removing the Processor” section.

2. Locate an empty processor socket.

3. Disengage the socket retention lever from the processor base.

4. Install the processor:
a. Hold the processor by its edges and align it over the empty

CPU socket.
Make sure that pin 1 of the processor (indicated by the gold

triangle on the corner) is properly aligned with hole 1 of the
socket (indicated by a notch). The pins are keyed in such a
way that you cannot install the processor in the wrong

orientation without bending the pins.
b. Insert the processor into the socket.
c. Engage the socket retention lever back into place.
