HP ProLiant DL60 Gen9 - Processor Installation Cautions; Installing a Processor

Hardware options installation 56
Processor installation cautions
The server supports single-processor and dual-processor operations.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server overheating, always populate each processor socket
with a processor socket cover and a processor blank, or a processor and a heatsink.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not
function.
For optimum performance, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends:
• Use DIMMs that match the speed of the processor installed in the server. Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4
processors are optimized to work with 2400 MHz DIMMs.
• In a multiprocessor configuration, balance the total capacity of the DIMMs across the processors.
Installing a processor
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 15).
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Do one of the following:
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 15).
o Remove the server from the rack (on page 18).
4. Remove the access panel (on page 18).
5. Remove the second processor blank.
