7.Angle the card into the PCI card guide. Align the PCIe card keyway with the slot key, and then firmly seat the card in the slot as shown in the following figure . If required by the card, connect the auxiliary power cable to the card (not illustrated), or other cables or accessories described in the card instructions. (See Removing the expansion card guide/front fan holder on page 126 to find the storage location of the auxiliary power cables.) Figure 5-96 Installing a PCIe card 8.Close the expansion card retention clamp by rotating it downward 2. The retention clamp is secured by the expansion card support. NOTE:It is normal for the expansion card retention clamp to have a slight (5-10 degree) angle when closed. If the angle is greater than this, open the clamp and ensure that all cards are properly seated and all the brackets are mated to the chassis, then re-close the clamp. 9.Install the expansion card support (see Installing the expansion card support on page 79). 10.Reinstall all removed components and reconnect any cables that have been disconnected.

PCI card This section describes replacing a PCI card. Removing a PCI card 1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 2.Remove the side access panel (see Removing the side access panel on page 75). 3.Remove the expansion card support (see Removing the expansion card support on page 77). 4.Remove all cables connected to the PCI card. 5.Raise the rear retention clamp by lifting the metal bar or the green lever as shown in the following figure . Figure 5-97 Removing a PCI card 6.Lift the PCI card out of the chassis 2. TIP:Store the card in an antistatic bag. 7.Install a PCI slot cover and close the expansion card retention clamp. The retention clamp is secured by the expansion card support. NOTE:It is normal for the expansion card retention clamp to have a slight (5-10 degree) angle when closed. If the angle is greater than this, open the clamp and ensure that all cards are properly seated and all the brackets are mated to the chassis, then re-close the clamp. 150 Chapter 5 Replacing components ENWW

TIP:Grasp the slot cover between two fingers—one from the inside of the chassis, and one from the outside. ENWW Removing and installing components 151

6.Align the PCI card keyway with the slot key, and then firmly seat the card in the slot as shown in the following figure . Figure 5-99 Installing a PCI card 7.Close the expansion card retention clamp by rotating it downward 2. The retention clamp is secured by the expansion card support. NOTE:It is normal for the expansion card retention clamp to have a slight (5-10 degree) angle when closed. If the angle is greater than this, open the clamp and ensure that all cards are properly seated and all the brackets are mated to the chassis, then re-close the clamp. 8.Install the expansion card support (see Installing the expansion card support on page 79). 9.Reinstall all removed components and reconnect any cables that have been disconnected. 152 Chapter 5 Replacing components ENWW

CPU heatsink This section describes how to remove and install a CPU heatsink. Removing the CPU heatsink 1.Power down the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 2.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 3.Remove the side access panel (see Removing the side access panel on page 75). 4.Remove the memory fans (see Removing the memory fans on page 136). 5.Remove the airflow guide (see Removing the airflow guide on page 76). 6.Slowly and evenly loosen one pair of diagonally opposite screws from the CPU until the screw shanks disengage from the system board, and then loosen the remaining pair 2 as shown in the following figure. CAUTION:Do not fully loosen one screw, and then move on to the next. Instead, loosen all screws a little at a time, ensuring that the CPU remains level. Figure 5-100 Loosening heatsink screws in sequence ENWW Removing and installing components 153

7.Disconnect the CPU heatsink fan cable from the system board as shown in the following figure. Figure 5-101 Disconnecting the heatsink fan cable 8.Lift the CPU heatsink out of the chassis 2. 9.Use alcohol and a soft cloth to clean the thermal interface residue from the CPU and the heatsink, allowing the alcohol on the CPU and CPU heatsink to dry completely. 154 Chapter 5 Replacing components ENWW

Installing the CPU heatsink 1.Perform one of the following tasks: ●If you are reusing the original heatsink, apply thermal compound to the center of the CPU top surface. ●If you are using a new CPU heatsink, do not apply thermal compound to the CPU because the new heatsink already has thermal compound applied to the heatsink surface. Instead, remove the thermal compound protective liner from the bottom of the new heatsink. 2.Align the four mounting screws with the mounting holes in the system board and carefully place the heatsink on the CPU. Ensure that the heatsink is placed properly with the fans positioned toward the front of the workstation. CAUTION:Do not overtighten the heatsink screws. If you overtighten them, you might strip the threads in the system board tray. Do not fully tighten one screw and then move on to the next. Instead, tighten all screws a little at a time, ensuring that the CPU remains level. 3.Tighten all screws partially so the CPU heatsink remains level. 4.Tighten each set of diagonally opposed screws a little at a time to 6 inch-lbs. of torque as shown in the following illustration. ENWW Removing and installing components 155

5.Connect the CPU heatsink fan connector to the system board. Figure 5-102 Connecting the heatsink fan cable 6.Reinstall all removed components and reconnect any cables that have been disconnected. 156 Chapter 5 Replacing components ENWW

CPU This section describes how to remove and install a CPU. Removing a CPU 1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 2.Remove the side access panel (see Removing the side access panel on page 75). 3.Remove the expansion card support (see Removing the expansion card support on page 77). 4.Remove the airflow guide (see Removing the airflow guide on page 76). 5.Remove the memory fan assembly (see Removing the memory fans on page 136). 6.Remove the CPU heatsink (see Removing the CPU heatsink on page 153). 7.Raise the CPU socket lever and open the cover 2 as shown in the following figure. Figure 5-103 Removing a CPU CAUTION:The CPU socket contacts and pads are extremely fragile. Do not touch the CPU socket contacts or the gold pads underneath the CPU. Use extreme care and handle the CPU only by the edges. 8.Pull the CPU straight out of the socket , and store the CPU in a static free container in a safe place where it cannot be damaged ENWW Removing and installing components 157

Installing a CPU NOTE:HP recommends that you do not swap processors (CPUs) from one system board to another. If installing a second CPU, it must be of the same type as the first CPU. 1.Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 2.Remove the side access panel (see Removing the side access panel on page 75). 3.Remove the airflow guide (see Removing the airflow guide on page 76). 4.Remove the memory fan assembly (see Removing the memory fans on page 136). 5.Remove the CPU heatsink (see Removing the CPU heatsink on page 153). 6.Remove the CPU (see Removing a CPU on page 157). 7.Using extreme care, fully raise the CPU socket lever and cover. CAUTION:The CPU socket contacts are delicate. To avoid bending the contacts, use extreme care when installing the CPU in the socket. 8.If you are adding a second CPU to a single-processor system, remove the plastic cover from the second CPU socket. 9.Align the notches in the CPU base with the tabs on the socket as shown in the following figure. Seat the CPU into the socket. Ensure that the underside of the CPU is level with the top of the CPU socket. 10.Close the CPU cover plate by lightly pressing down on the CPU cover plate while closing the socket lever. 11.Replace the CPU heatsink (see Installing the CPU heatsink on page 155 for installation details.) 12.Reinstall all removed components and reconnect any cables that have been disconnected. 158 Chapter 5 Replacing components ENWW
