Removal and replacement procedures This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement procedures for the HP ProLiant DL165 G7 server. Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make sure it is compatible with the server. When you integrate new components into the system, record its model and serial number, and any other pertinent information for future reference.
Pre-installation procedure Perform the steps below before you open the server or before you remove or replace any component. WARNING: Failure to properly turn off the server before you open the server or before your start installing and removing components may cause serious damage as well as bodily harm. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it.
Server warnings and cautions Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
This symbol indicates that the component exceeds the recommended weight for one individual to handle safely. Weight in kg. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, Weight in lb. observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
System cover You need to remove the top cover before you can remove or replace a server component. The top cover needs to be removed to service the SAS/SATA backplane. Top cover To remove the top cover: Loosen the screw on the top cover with a T-10 wrench. Press the latch on the top cover.

System board configuration Processor HP ProLiant DL165 G7 Server supports AMD 8-core/12-core G34-Magny-Cours processors. If a single processor is installed, then use socket 1. When two processors are used, the server supports boot functions through the processor installed in socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system cannot boot up, and if processor 2 fails, the system will be automatically booted from processor 1 and provide a processor failure message.
Page 56
To remove the air baffle: Gently rock the air baffle up. Take the air baffle out from the system board. Figure 33 Removing the Air Baffle NOTE: Due to the position of the two processors in the chassis, the heat sink of processor 2 blocks the air from the system fans to the heat sink of processor 1, which results in insufficient cooling to processor 1.
Page 57
Figure 34 Removing the Heat Sink of Processor 1 Figure 35 Removing the Heat Sink of Processor 2 IMPORTANT: If the heat sink has been removed for any reason on a previously installed processor, it is critical that you remove any residual thermal compound using the provided alcohol pads and apply more grease compound to the integrated heat spreader on the processor to ensure proper thermal bonding between the processor and the heat sink.
Page 58
To remove the processor: Unlock the load lever and lift it up. Open the retention plate. Squeeze the push fingers of the processor installation tool. Hold the processor with the installation tool. Figure 36 from the Socket with the Installation Tool Picking up the Processor Remove the processor with the installation tool.
Page 59
CAUTION: To allow heat sink to draw as much heat as possible from the processor base, there must be good contact between the heat sink base and the top of the processor. To ensure good contact, you must apply thermal grease compound. To install the new processor: Squeeze the push fingers of the processor installation tool.
