WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal components to cool before
touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the system, you must
become static-free by touching a screw or unpainted
surface on the system's housing before beginning these
procedures. In addition, avoid touching any exposed
metal on the option boards or the system circuit boards.
IMPORTANT: A few server configurations may exceed the power
rating of a single power supply, resulting in a loss of power redun-
dancy for the server. Use the ProLiant DL760 G2 Power Calculator
available on the ActiveAnswers website
(activeanswers.compaq.com) to ensure that power redundancy will
be maintained for your configuration.
Thank you for purchasing the
HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2
Server Upgrade Kit.
The HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server Upgrade Kit adds
Hot Plug RAID Memory, Intel® Xeon processors MP, and PCI-X
technology to your ProLiant 8500 or ProLiant DL760 server.
After the upgrade, the server will become a ProLiant DL760
G2 server model. A new service number will be assigned to
the server to identify the new components. This service number
will be used to identify the type of system you have and will
ensure that proper help and diagnosis is given by the HP Call
Center or service technician. You will maintain the current
system serial number. When you call for service, provide both
the original system serial, number and the upgrade service
number.
NOTE: The hardware portion of the ProLiant DL760 G2 server
upgrade will take approximately 15 minutes to an hour to complete.
Duration will vary from case to case.
