6. 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.
7. 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. Line up the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector and
carefully press the microprocessor into the connector. Make sure that the
corner with the gold arrow is lined up with pin C1 on the planar.
c. Press down and latch the release arm.
Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor release
arm and then lift the microprocessor off of the connector.
8. Install the voltage regulator module (VRM) included in the microprocessor kit.
Attention: When installing or replacing a VRM, use only a VRM specified for
use with the xSeries 342 server. Use of other VRMs might cause
the 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.
Note: If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the
terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector and to
remove the VRM.
9. Remove the thermal tape liner from the underside of the fan sink and discard.
