Step 10. If you do not intend to install a microprocessor on the socket, install the socket cover that you

removed in Step 9 on page 286 on the microprocessor socket.

Attention: The pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may require replacing the

system board.

Step 11. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor, follow all packaging instructions, and use any

Replacing a microprocessor and heat sink

Use this information to replace a microprocessor and heat sink.

The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that

you must consider when you install a microprocessor and heat sink:

• Microprocessors are to be installed only by trained technicians.

Important: Always use the microprocessor installation tool to install a microprocessor. Failing to use

the microprocessor installation tool may damage the microprocessor sockets on the system board. Any

damage to the microprocessor sockets may require replacing the system board.

• The server supports up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 or Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series multi-core

microprocessors, which are designed for the LGA 2011 socket. See http://www.lenovo.com/

serverproven/ for a list of supported microprocessors.

– If your server is preinstalled with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 series multi-core microprocessors, do not

downgrade the microprocessors to Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series.

– If your server is installed with two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series microprocessors, six dual-rotor fans

must be installed for proper cooling.

– If your server is installed with one or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 series microprocessors with wattage

above 135 watt, six dual-rotor fans must be installed for proper cooling when the ambient temperature

exceeds 35°C (95°F).

• Do not mix microprocessors with different cores in the same server.

• The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on the system board.
