HP DL360 G5 1U Server being upgraded from a single Quad processor to a double Quad processor. (single Intel e5335 2ghz quad Xeon to a double Intel e5450 3ghz quad Xeon)
Pictured at the beginning are qty 2: Part Number: 457931-B21 cpu option kits (cpu with dl360g5 heatsink).
The video doesn't display all the steps, but, you should get a good idea of what to expect. (afterall, the video had to be less than 10min)
Note: Always read the instructions several times. Afterall, you want zero intermittent problems and other annoyances due to a missing or incomplete steps.
Also, insure that you have applied all the rompaq updates to your system board and components before the hardware upgrade. It is very easy to apply the system board rompaq. (my favorite is via usb flashdrive)
Important: Ensure that the server is powered off. AND, ensure that the power connections are unplugged. Use a ground strap or other tool to make sure that you do not carry any static charge.
This server has Windows 2003 R2 Standard.
I did not need to make any changes to the OS regarding the upgrade from single processor to dual processor. Further, I didn't need even make any change on the HP cmos/hardware/etc settings.
ps. Tj Max for these processors are 100c. (fyi, for those that drive their CPUs at 100% utilization 24/7 and so watch the temperatures of their servers. My favorite is CoreTemp)
Recorded by handheld Canon camera - March 2010 (so, yes, it is possible to do a CPU upgrade with 1 hand holding the camera and the other doing the work)
