Customer self repair
HP products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to minimize repair time and allow for
greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during the diagnosis period, HP identifies that the
repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There
are two categories of CSR parts:
•Mandatory - Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP (including any of it's
partners or service providers) to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of
this service.
•Recommended - Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer
self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, this may be done at no additional charge
under the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day delivery.
Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered where geography permits, for customers with those entitlements.
In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within
a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated
documentation in the provided shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you
for the replacement. With a customer self repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the
courier/carrier to be used.

6. Remove the processor:
a. Disengage the load lever.
b. Lift the retention plate to expose the socket body.
c. Grasp the processor by its edges and lift it out of the socket.
Figure -22 [Removing the processor]
7. Place the processor on a static-dissipating work surface or in an anti-static bag.
To allow the heatsink to draw as much heat as possible from the processor base, there must be good
contact between the heatsink base and the top of the processor. To ensure good contact, you must apply
thermal grease compound.
8. Apply the thermal grease compound:
a. Use a clean cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the contact surface on the HSF and on the new
processor. Wipe the contact surfaces several times to make sure they are free of particles or dust
contaminants.
CAUTION: Never touch the bottom size of the processor; any contaminant could prevent the
processor contact pads from making contact with the socket.
b. Apply the thermal grease compound to both contact surfaces.
c. Use a proper tool to spread the grease throughout the entire contact surface and lightly scrape off any
excess grease.
CAUTION: Applying too much grease creates a gap between the contact surfaces, significantly
reducing the ability of the heatsink to draw out heat. Installing the heatsink with excessive grease can
also cause the grease to spread over the processor pins or the system board base, which can cause
electrical shorts that damage the system.
9. Install the new processor:
a. With the load lever and the retention plate disengaged, hold the processor by its edges and align it
over the empty processor socket. Make sure that you properly align the processor with the orientation
notch on the socket.
b. Insert the processor into the socket.
c. Engage the retention plate and the load lever.
22
Figure -23 [Installing a processor]
After you install the processor, you must reinstall the HSF on top of the processor socket. The thermal grease you
applied on the contact surfaces of the HSF and the processor provides the necessary thermal bonding to allow
the heatsink to draw heat from the processor.
CAUTION: To prevent processor overheating or system instability, use only an HSF assembly specified for the
HP ProLiant ML110 Generation 3 server.
10. Replace the heatsink-cooling fan assembly:
a. Properly align the HSF mounting pins to the system board mounting holes and press down until you
hear a click.
b. Twist the mounting pins clockwise to secure the HSF connection to the system board.
c. Connect the processor fan cable to the connector on the system board (P70).
CAUTION: Failure to connect the processor fan cable to the system board may result in damage to the

3 Diagnostic tools
This chapter describes the system diagnostic tools available for the HP ProLiant ML110 Generation 3 server. It
also provides a comprehensive list of POST-related messages and their meanings.
AMIBIOS software
The G3 server uses AMIBIOS to boot up the system. AMIBIOS software is a ROM BIOS-based firmware that
allows reliability, manageability, and connectivity for server platforms. This software contains a set of programs
permanently stored in an EEPROM chipset located on the system board. These programs assist in managing,
initializing, and testing the hardware devices installed on the computer.
AMIBIOS software allows you to:
•Perform configuration from the AMIBIOS Setup Utility
Using the Setup Utility, you can install, configure, and optimize the hardware devices on the system board.
In addition, you can enable various features such serial console redirection, hyper-threading, PXE boot,
IPMI Virtual Floppy support, and much more.
•Initialize hardware at bootup using POST routines
During power-on or warm reset, the BIOS performs Power-On Self Test (POST) routines to test system
components, to allocate resource for various hardware devices, and to the prepare the system to boot to
various operating systems.
Accessing the Setup Utility
1.Turn on the monitor and server. If the server is already turned on, save your data and exit all open
applications, then restart the server.

Power-On Self Test (POST)
Before you can use a server, all devices must be tested and initialized, and the operating system must be
bootstrapped to the memory. This is referred to as Power–On Self–Test or POST. POST is a series of diagnostic
tests that checks firmware and hardware components on the system to ensure that the server is properly
functioning. This diagnostic function automatically runs each time the server is powered on.
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the board or
component that you need to replace, as indicated by the error messages. Most server hardware failures will be
accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on the configuration of the server.
During POST you can:
• Press ESC to skip the HP logo and go to POST boot progress display system summary screen.
• Press F8 to display the Boot menu.
• Press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
• Press F12 to request a network boot (PXE).
