Installing an Additional Processor Module
This section provides information about installing dual processor modules. The modules are located on the
system board which is accessible by removing the system cover.
The HP 9000 rp3410 server supports one processor socket. This socket will accept one dual processor module
which contains two 800 MHz CPUs. The HP 9000 rp3410 server 1-way configuration includes two CPUs in a
single module, but only one CPU is enabled. (The second CPU can be enabled as part of a server upgrade.)
The HP 9000 rp3440 server supports two processor sockets. Each socket will accept one dual processor
module which contains either two 800 MHz CPUs or two 1 GHz CPUs.
WARNING Ensure that the system is powered-down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing a dual processor
module.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION Failure to properly complete the steps in this procedure will result in erratic system behavior
or system failure. For assistance with this procedure contact your local HP Authorized Service
Provider.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
NOTE Processor tool kit, P/N 5069-5441 is required for installation of a processor module.
Processor modules are located on the system board. The system board can support either one or two dual
processor modules. The CPU0 socket is located at the right of the system board and the CPU1 socket is
located at the left of the system board next to the bridge assembly. In a 1-way or 2-way server, the single dual
processor module must be installed in the CPU0 socket.
Install a second dual processor module as follows:
Step 1. Turn off the system and disconnect all power and external cables.
Step 2. Remove the cover. (See “Removing and Replacing System Covers and Bezels” on page 25.)
Step 3. Remove the memory airflow guide. (See “Replacing the Memory Airflow Guide” on page 42.)
Step 4. Remove the processor airflow guide. (See “Removing the Processor Airflow Guide” on page 42.)
