CPU Removal
There are two CPU sockets in each rp2470 server. Removal procedures are described in the following
paragraphs.
CAUTION Ensure that the system is shut down and power removed from the server before attempting
removal or replacement of a component.
Step 2. Loosen the four captive T-15 mounting screws that hold the CPU in place.
NOTE Loosen the four CPU mounting screws a little at a time, in a cross pattern (1, 3, 2, 4)
until they are all loose. The mounting screws will not back out of the CPU assembly.
Step 3. Grasp the top of the CPU assembly and carefully lift it out of the server.
Place the CPU on a clean surface. If the CPU is going to be out of the server for any length of time, place a
dust cover in the CPU socket on the system board to protect against particle contamination.

Guardian Service Processor Firmware Update
• The update files exist on an FTP server accessible to the GSP LAN.
• The GSP LAN has been configured (using the LC command).
• The GSP internal port is configured (refer to Accessing GSP Internal Port for procedures).
An update file set consists of three files (APPLICATION.ROM, BOOTSTRAP.ROM, and upgrade.cnf).
To update the firmware on the GSP, perform the following steps:
1. Access the GSP by using the ctrl+b command from the local console keyboard, through the local port, or
from an HP-UX server (through GSP internal port), use the cu command.
2. At the GSP prompt (GSP>) type he, to display the help menu, as shown:
GSP> he
HE
CL: Console Log-view console history PS: Power management module status
CSP: Conect to remote Service Proc. SDM: Set Display Mode (hex or text)
DI: DIsconect remote or LAN console SL: Show Logs (chassis code buffer)
EL: Enable/disable LAN/WEB access SO: Security options & access control
EX: Exit GSP and disconnect TC: reset via Transfer of Control
HE: Display HElp for menu or command TE: TEll-send a msg to other users
3. Select the GSP command XU. This command activates the upgrade mode.

Guardian Service Processor Firmware Update
CAUTION All connections will be closed, the network will be stopped, the sessions will be aborted and
the modem connection will be dropped when the XU command is executed.
GSP> xu
xu
This command activates the upgrade mode. All connections will be closed, the network will be stopped,
the sessions will be aborted and the modem connection will be dropped.
NOTE If returned to the GSP prompt (GSP>) instead of the reset message, the update was not
successful. This may be caused by incorrect information, or the LAN was not configured
properly. Check the LAN parameters (using the LS command) and try again.
4. Use ctrl+b to re-login to GSP (or the cu command from the internal port).
5. Re-enter the GSP he command to verify that the firmware revision number has changed to the updated
version.
NOTE If updating from the GSP internal port, following the last message above, exit the cu command
and re-issue the cu command in order to continue using the GSP from the internal port.
Once the GSP has reset, reconnect all sessions that were aborted.
