1. Remove the heat-sink filler, if one is present.
2. If you are not installing a new microprocessor and a new heat sink, remove
the thermal grease from the heat sink and microprocessor; then, apply new
thermal grease before installation (see "Thermal grease" on page 89).
Attention: Do not use any tools or sharp objects to lift the release levers on
the microprocessor socket. Doing so might result in permanent damage to the

Attention: Do not touch the connectors on the microprocessor and the
microprocessor socket.
4. Install the microprocessor in the microprocessor socket:
a. Touch the static-protective bag that contains the new microprocessor to
any unpainted surface on the BladeCenter chassis or any unpainted metal
surface on any other grounded rack component; then, carefully remove the
microprocessor and the installation tool from the package.
b. The microprocessor is preinstalled on the installation tool. Release the
sides of the cover and remove the cover from the installation tool.
Note: Do not touch the microprocessor contacts. Contaminants on the
microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection
