FRU types and procedures Related Cautions and Warnings Prerequisites Considerations specific to NonStop X system
Processor and heatsink module    
Replace and restore
CAUTION:

Do not separate the processor module from the heatsink. This can cause thermal instability and damage to the server blade.

WARNING:

The heatsink locking lever can constitute a pinch hazard, keep your hands on top of the lever during installation to avoid personal injury.

The blade is powered down and that you have removed the processor and heatsink module.
IMPORTANT:

A new heatsink module must be used in a replacement server blade. Do not reuse the old heatsink because it contains old thermal grease that can adhere to the processor.

Assemble new
CAUTION:

The pins on the processor socket are fragile. Any damage to them may require replacing the server blade base unit.

CAUTION:

To avoid damage to the processor, verify that the plastic tabs on the processor are pulled fully out before installation.

CAUTION:

To avoid damage to the processor, handle the processor only by the edges. Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.

CAUTION:

To prevent possible server blade malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.

CAUTION:

After assembling, do not separate the processor module from the heatsink after assembling. This can cause thermal instability and damage to the server blade.

You have completed the "Replace and restore" steps previously mentioned in this table and are now ready to assemble the processor and heatsink module.  
Server battery, replace  

You have completed the steps in Replacing, restoring, or adding memory in a server blade and the server blade access panel is removed.

NOTE:

After replacing the battery, there are still battery-related steps to complete. See Complete the post-installation configuration.

SAS controller, replace  You have powered down the server blade, completed the steps in Replacing, restoring, or adding memory in a server blade, and the access panel has been removed.  
Base Unit (System Board), Server Blade, remove and replace sub-FRUs  It is assumed that you have removed the sublevel FRUs and saved them. Summary of steps:

  1. Power down the server blade and remove it from the enclosure.

  2. Remove all the sublevel FRUs, keeping track of their locations, and then restore them in the new base unit.

    1. Remove the access panel.

    2. Remove the memory DIMMs. See Replacing, restoring, or adding memory in a server blade.

    3. Remove the processor and heatsink module. Ensure that you obtain a new heatsink module.

    4. Remove the IB interface mezzanine card.

    5. Restore the memory DIMMs, new processor heatsink module, mezzanine card, and access panel by following the restoring or replacing steps in the relevant procedures.

  3. Install the server blade back into the enclosure.

  4. Continue with Configuring BIOS settings on the server blade.

  5. Launch the Power Settings menu.

    1. In the iLO web interface, expand the Power Management line on the left.

    2. Click Power Settings in the left pane.

    3. Under Power Regulator Settings, select HP Static High Performance Mode.

    4. Click Apply.

  6. Power cycle the server blade:

    1. In the left pane of the iLO web interface, expand the Power Management line.

    2. Click the Power Server.

    3. Initiate the boot sequence by doing one of the following, depending on the power state of the server blade determined during installation.

      • Server blade powered on automatically (power LED is green).

        1. Click Press and Hold.

        2. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box warning about shutting down the OS.

        3. Wait 30 seconds.

      1. Click Momentary Press.

      2. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box asking if you want to continue.

      3. Check what is selected for Power Restore Settings. If Auto Power On is not selected, select it and click Submit.

  7. You must use the OSM System Configuration Tool Configure Processor Blade action to add the server blade.

  8. Verify that there are no problems associated with the new server blade:

    1. Check the Attributes of the associated Processor Blade resource in the OSM Service Connection.

    2. Use the OSM Alarm Summary function to check for any alarms.
