Processor; Removing A Processor; Installing A Processor - Intel AC450NX Product Manual

Processor

The CPU baseboard supports up to four processors packaged in S.E.C. cartridges.
CAUTION
The processors can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful
handling. After removing a processor from a protective wrapper or from the
CPU baseboard, place it on a nonconductive, static-free surface. Do not
slide the processor over any surface.

Removing a Processor

See Figures 13-5.
1. Observe the precautions on page 115, "Safety Guidelines."
2. Remove the top cover as described in Chapter 12, "Server Covers: Removing/Reinstalling."
3. Loosen the holddown bracket captive screw and remove the holddown bracket.
4. Simultaneously rotate the eject/insert levers of the processor cartridge outward to eject the
cartridge out of the slot 2 connector on the CPU baseboard.
5. Slide the cartridge out of the slot guides, and place it heat sink-side up on a nonconductive,
static-free surface, or store it in an antistatic protective wrapper.
CAUTION
If a slot 2 connector is depopulated, a terminator module must be installed in
the connector to properly terminate the signals on the FSB.
