2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then remove the cover (see "Removing the cover, door, and
bezel" on page 48 for details).
3. Remove the air-baffle assembly from the fan assembly located on the rear of
the server.

4. Remove the air-baffle insert from the air baffle assembly to accommodate the
additional microprocessor. Store the air-baffle insert in a safe place for future
use.
Attention: If the server uses only one microprocessor, the air-baffle insert
must remain clipped onto the air baffle assembly to ensure proper airflow
over the microprocessor.
5. Pull out and lift up the release lever and remove the terminator card from the
microprocessor connector. Store the terminator card in a safe place, such as the
static-protective package that your new microprocessor comes in. You will
need to install it again, if you ever remove the microprocessor and do not
replace it.
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. Line up the microprocessor pins over the microprocessor connector and
carefully press the microprocessor into the connector.
Note: Use the orientation indicator located on the microprocessor to
properly align the microprocessor over the microprocessor
connector, if available.
c. Press down and latch the release lever.
Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor
release lever and then lift the microprocessor off the connector.
7. 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 232 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.
Note: If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the
terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector and
remove the VRM.
