Common Procedures
The procedures in this section are for removing and replacing server components for this upgrade.
Accessing a Rack Mounted Server
The hp Server is designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure explains how to gain access to your hp
Server that is mounted in an approved rack. For rack installation instructions, review the document titled
Installation Guide, Mid-Weight Slide Kit, 5065-7291. This document can be accessed at:
http://www.hp.com/racksolutions.
WARNING Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed; and so on) are employed prior to extending the server.
Extend the Server from the Rack
NOTE Ensure that there is enough area (Approximately 1.5 meters [4.5 ft.]) to fully extend the server
out the front and work on it.
To extend the server from the rack, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Remove the T-25 screws that fasten the server to the rack. See Figure 1-2, “Accessing 25MM Torx
Screws.”

Step 2. Flip out the two pull handles at either end of the front bezel and slowly pull the unit forward by the
handles. The server is fully extended when the rail clips are locked in place. When fully extended,
the front and top covers are fully accessible.
Figure 1-2 Accessing 25MM Torx Screws
Insert the Server into the Rack
To insert the server into the rack, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Press the rail clips on either side of the server inward and push the server into the rack until it
stops.
Step 2. Replace the T-25 screws that fasten the server to the rack.
Accessing a Pedestal Mounted Server
The hp Server is also designed to be pedestal mounted. You do not need to remove the pedestal from the hp
Server to gain access to internal components. The front bezel, front cover, and top cover may be removed with
the pedestal attached to the hp Server.

Step 3. Using a Torx T15 driver, loosen the four captive thumbscrews that hold the front cover in place.
Step 4. Raise the cover slightly, and pull the cover toward the front of the server to free the tabs from the
slots in the center of the chassis.
Installing the Front Cover
To install the front cover, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Align the tabs at the rear of the front cover with the corresponding slots in the chassis and fully
seat the tabs into the slots.
Step 2. Tighten the four thumbscrews securely.
Step 3. Replace the front bezel.
Step 4. If rack mounted, slide the hp Server into the rack until it stops.

Processor Extender Board
18
Processor Extender Board
The processor extender board is located directly under the memory extender board. The processor extender
board can hold between one and four processors.
WARNING Ensure that the system is powered down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing the processor extender
board.
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.
Removing the Processor Extender Board
To remove the processor extender board, perform the following steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the hp Server out from the rack until it stops. See “Accessing a Rack
Mounted Server” on page 9.
NOTE If desired, the processor extender board may be removed without removing the hp
Server from the rack.
Step 2. Remove the front bezel. See “Front Bezel” on page 12.
Step 3. Remove the front cover. See “Front and Top Covers” on page 14.
Step 4. Press the latch on the extraction levers located on each side of the processor extender board.

Installing the Processor Extender Board
To install the processor extender board, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Ensure the extraction levers are positioned in the outward, unlocked position.
Step 2. Align the processor extender board with the front and rear card guides.
Step 3. Slide the processor extender board down until it begins to seat in the socket located on the
midplane riser board.
Step 4. Push the extraction levers inward to the locked position in order to fully seat the processor
extender board into the socket on the midplane riser board.
Step 5. Replace the front cover.
Step 6. Replace the front bezel.
Step 7. If rack mounted, slide the hp Server into the rack until it stops.
Hot-Swap Chassis Fan Unit
There are three hot-swap chassis fan units in the hp Server. Fan units 0, 1, and 2 are in the center of the
chassis spanning the full chassis width. Fan units 0 and 1 are interchangeable and are in the left and center
positions. Fan unit 2 is smaller and only fits into the right-most position (behind the power supply).
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
NOTE A hot-swap device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is
removed from or installed into the server.
The AC power to the server does not have to be off to remove or replace a hot-swap chassis fan
unit.
