Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
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 damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
This section provides the following procedures:
• Installing a processor in an HP ProLiant ML150 Generation 3 Server (on page 12)
• Installing a processor in other HP ProLiant 100 Series Servers (on page 15)
For more information on installing a processor in a specific server, see the installation sheet that ships with
the processor option kit.
Installing a processor in an HP ProLiant ML150 Generation 3 Server
The HP ProLiant ML150 Generation 3 Server supports single- and dual-processor operation. With two
processors installed, the server supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket
1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a
processor failure message.
The server uses embedded PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to provide the proper power to each processor.
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.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
To install a processor in an HP ProLiant ML150 Generation 3 Server:
1. Power down the server (on page 6).
2. Extend the server from the rack.
