To install an additional microprocessor:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and search for ESD: http://www.ibm.com
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 66 and in"Safety
information" on page 67.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on
page 72).
3. Remove the fan 3 assembly by lifting the orange handle on top of the fan
assembly and pulling the fan assembly away from the server.
4. Remove the air baffle by grasping it at the sides and lifting it from the server.
5. Remove the terminator card from the microprocessor connector. Store the
terminator card in a safe place in the static-protective package that your new
microprocessor is shipped in; you will need to install it again, if you ever remove
the microprocessor and do not replace the microprocessor.
6. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from
the package.
b. Center the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector and carefully
press the microprocessor into the connector.
Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor handle.
7. Install the VRM included in the microprocessor kit.
Attention: When installing or replacing a VRM, use only a VRM specified for use
with the Netfinity 4500R server. Use of other VRMs might cause your server to
overheat.
a. Center the VRM over the VRM connector. Make sure that the VRM is oriented
and aligned correctly.
b. Press the VRM into the connector.
