Installing the Hard Disk Drive
One SL160s G6 server tray can accommodate up to 6 LFF SATA, 4 LFF
SAS, or 8 SFF SATA/SAS Non Hot-Plug hard disk drives, and the
chassis can accommodate 4 server trays for up to 24 LFF SATA or 32
SFF Non Hot-Plug hard disk drives. The server supports both SAS and
SATA hard disk drives.
NOTE: For specific supported hard drive configurations and
cable routing, refer to HP ProLiant SL160s G6 Server
Maintenance and Service Guide located on the HP website:
http://www.hp.com/support/ProLiant_SL160sG6_MSG_en
CAUTION: Drives can be damaged by static electricity. Before
handling drives, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge
static electricity.
To install the LFF hard disk drive in the server tray:
1. Unlock the HDD carrier latches.
2. Lift the HDD carrier handle up.
3. Insert the HDD carrier and align the pins.
4. Press the HDD carrier handle down.
5. Lock the HDD carrier latches.

NOTES:
•Installation guide for 1P configuration:
oFollow the sequence of 3A, 6B, 9C, 2D, 5E, 8F, 1G, 4H, and
7I for the corresponding processor when installing the
memory.
•Installation guide for 2P configuration:
oFollow the sequence of 3A, 6B, 9C, 2D, 5E, 8F, 1G, 4H, and
7I for the corresponding processor when installing the
memory.
oInstall at least one memory DIMM for each processor.
oThe memory quantity installed for each processor can be
different.
oThe DIMM slot 1 should be the closest one of the processor.
CAUTION: DIMMs can be damaged by improper handling.
Always use an anti-static wrist strap and grounding mat, and
discharge static electricity before touching DIMMs.
To install a memory module:
1. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the module with the keyed
surface of the DIMM slot and then press the module fully into the
slot.
2. Firmly press the holding clips inward to secure the memory
module in place.
Figure 7 Installing the memory module
DIMM slots are structured to ensure proper installation. If you insert a
DIMM but it does not fit easily into the slot, you may have inserted it
incorrectly. Reverse the orientation of the DIMM and insert it again.

Installing the Processor
NOTE: If one processor is being installed, it should be
installed in the socket furthest from the IOH/chipset.
To install the new processor:
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking
lever prevents the processor from seating during installation,
leading to hardware damage.
1. Open the processor locking lever and the processor socket
retaining bracket. Do not remove the processor socket cover.
Figure 8 Opening the lever and bracket
IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the
processor installation tool.
2. If the processor has separated from the installation tool, carefully
re-insert the processor in the tool. Handle the processor by the
edges only, and do not touch the bottom of the processor,
especially the contact area.
Figure 9 Installing the processor in the installation tool
3. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install the
processor. THE PINS ON THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE
AND EASILY DAMAGED.
Figure 10 Installing the processor
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.

4. Press the tabs on the processor installation tool to separate it from
the processor, and then remove the tool.
Figure 11 Removing the processor installation tool
5. Close the processor socket retaining bracket and the processor
locking lever. The processor socket cover is automatically
ejected. Remove the cover.
Figure 12 Closing the processor socket
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking
lever prevents the processor from seating during installation,
leading to hardware damage.
For processor removal, reverse the above installation procedures.
To install the PCI air baffle:
NOTE: The PCI air baffle is required for proper thermal
solution. Need to install a PCI air baffle before installing
the heat sink.
1. Align the PCI air baffle facing the hole on the system board and
installed it as described in below figure.
Figure 13 Installing the PCI air baffle
Figure 14 Detail information for installing the PCI air baffle
To install the heatsink:
1. Properly align the heat sink mounting pins to the system board
mounting holes.
2. Tighten the mounting pins clockwise to secure the heat sink
connection to the system board.
CAUTION: To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side
during installation/removal, turn each screw a couple of turns,
alternatively between both of them, and then apply the final
torque. Do not over tighten the spring loaded screws to prevent
them from breaking off. A maximum torque of 4.5 inch-lb is set
for each screw.

IMPORTANT: The one close to front panel is processor 2 and
the other one is processor 1. During install the heat sink, make
sure the side with a triangle logo close to the DIMMs.
Figure 15 Installing the heat sink assembly
CAUTION: Be sure that the heat sink sits squarely on the
processor, or overheating and damage to the processor may
occur.
Installing the CPU Air Baffle
NOTE: The CPU air baffle is required for proper thermal
solution.
To install the CPU air baffle:
1. Align the CPU air baffle to the tray.
2. Secure the latches to the tray as described in below figure.
3. Press down the CPU air baffle to install it and make sure it full
connects to the tray.
Figure 16 Installing the CPU air baffle into the tray

IMPORTANT: If the heat sink has been removed for any reason,
it is critical that you apply more thermal interface material to the
integrated heat spreader on the processor to ensure proper
thermal bonding between the processor and the heat sink.
Clean the contact surface of both the processor and heat sink
with an alcohol pad, and then re-apply an HP-approved
thermal interface material before reinstalling the processor. Use
a pattern of five dots when applying the thermal interface
material—one dot in the center, and one dot at each corner.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the heat sink’s spring-loaded screws
to prevent them from breaking off.
