Audience Assumptions

This poster provides a quick way for customers experienced in server installation to upgrade the ProLiant 8500 or ProLiant DL760 server to a ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 server. These instructions are written assuming you are qualified to install and service computer equipment and are trained to recognize hazards in products with high energy levels, such as the power supplies in this computer system. For detailed instructions, refer to the HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide included on the Documentation CD.

Important Safety Information

Before installing the product, read the Important Safety Information guide included with the server.

WARNING: This product contains energy levels that are considered hazardous. There is a risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy. The installation and servicing of this product must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable of the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing hazardous energy circuits.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

63 - 73 kg

140 - 161 lb

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual

material handling.

• Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal. The

product will be unstable when not fastened to

the rails.

• Remove all hot-plug power supplies, removable modules, and drives to reduce the overall weight of the product.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal components to cool before touching them.

2 Preparing the Server

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the system, you must

become static-free by touching a screw or unpainted surface on the system's housing before beginning these procedures. In addition, avoid touching any exposed metal on the option boards or the system circuit boards.

IMPORTANT: A few server configurations may exceed the power rating of a single power supply, resulting in a loss of power redundancy for the server. Use the ProLiant DL760 G2 Power Calculator available on the ActiveAnswers website (activeanswers.compaq.com) to ensure that power redundancy will be maintained for your configuration.

Thank you for purchasing the HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server Upgrade Kit.

The HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server Upgrade Kit adds Hot Plug RAID Memory, Intel® Xeon processors MP, and PCI-X technology to your ProLiant 8500 or ProLiant DL760 server.

After the upgrade, the server will become a ProLiant DL760 G2 server model. A new service number will be assigned to the server to identify the new components. This service number will be used to identify the type of system you have and will ensure that proper help and diagnosis is given by the HP Call Center or service technician. You will maintain the current system serial number. When you call for service, provide both the original system serial, number and the upgrade service number.

NOTE: The hardware portion of the ProLiant DL760 G2 server upgrade will take approximately 15 minutes to an hour to complete. Duration will vary from case to case.
