HP ProLiant WS460c G6

Processor

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 malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or cache sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the processor.

CAUTION: To prevent possible workstation blade overheating, always populate each processor socket with a processor socket cover and a heatsink blank or a processor and a heatsink.

IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the workstation blade does not power up.

To remove the component:

1. Update the system ROM.

   Locate and download the latest ROM version from the HP website. Follow the instructions on the website to update the system ROM.

2. Power down the workstation blade.
3. Remove the workstation blade.
4. Remove the access panel.
5. Remove all hard drives.
6. Remove all hard drive blanks.
7. Remove the hard drive backplane.
8. Remove the front panel/hard drive cage assembly.
9. Remove the heatsink.
10. Open the processor locking lever and the processor socket retaining bracket.

    

11. Using the processor tool, remove the processor from the system board:
    1. Line up the processor tool, ensuring the locking lever graphic on the tool is oriented correctly.
    2. Press in on the plastic tabs, and then place the tool on the processor.
    3. Release the tabs, and then carefully lift the processor and tool straight up.

       

12. Carefully rotate the tool, and then push in and release the tabs to secure the processor in the tool.

    

    CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor, do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.

To replace the component:

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board, processor socket, and screws, do not overtighten the heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the possibility of overtightening the screws.

1. Carefully insert the processor into the processor installation tool. Handle the processor by the edges only, and do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.

   

2. Be sure the tool is oriented correctly. Align the processor installation tool with the socket, and then install the processor. THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED.

   

   CAUTION: THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. To avoid damage to the system board: Never install or remove a processor without using the processor installation tool. Do not touch the processor socket contacts. Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.

3. Press and hold the tabs on the processor installation tool to separate it from the processor, and then remove the tool.

   

4. Close the processor socket retaining bracket and the processor locking lever.

   CAUTION: Be sure to close the processor socket retaining bracket before closing the processor locking lever. The lever should close without resistance. Forcing the lever closed can damage the processor and socket, requiring system board replacement.

   

   CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board, processor socket, and screws, do not overtighten the heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system to reduce the possibility of overtightening the screws.

5. Align and install the heatsink. Alternate tightening the screws until the heatsink is seated properly.

   

6. Install the front panel/hard drive cage assembly.
7. Install the hard drive backplane.
8. Install the hard drives.
9. Install the hard drive blanks.
10. Install the access panel.
11. Install the workstation blade.
