Suppose we have a problem with a processor or would like to replace to a more powerful one. Is it possible? I found one article that explain the process for DL385 but not sure if this is only for a new server defective processor replacement.

It depends on the model of server. However, each HP server model has option and upgrade parts available. For instance, if you had an HP ProLiant DL380 G6, you'd be able to install any of the processors listed in the option parts list. I've done this in the past where I'd have a 4-core CPU and needed to move to dual 6-core CPUs. It's entirely supported.

Edit: Since you mentioned the ProLiant DL380 G6 and DL380 G7, you have a lot of options. Many of the CPUs are interchangeable between the models.

Here's what I'd recommend. For the DL380 G7, the following CPUs are compatible. The models in bold are also compatible as upgrades for the DL380 G6.

Yes they are replaceable... The QuickSpecs detail the processors available for each server.
