Installing A Microprocessor - IBM xSeries 300 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Note: Once you remove the heat sink from the microprocessor, you must
replace it with a new device.
Pull out and lift up the release lever and remove the microprocessor from the
connector. Store the microprocessor in a static-protective bag for possible future
use.
5. If you are installing a new microprocessor, continue with step 4 in "Installing a
microprocessor".

Installing a microprocessor

Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
Attention:
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, refer to IBM
Web site http://www.ibm.com/ and use a search term of ESD.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety information" on page 75.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 38
for details).
3. 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. Pull out and lift up on the microprocessor release lever to unlock the
microprocessor connector.
c. Orient the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector as shown in
the following illustration. Carefully press the microprocessor into the
connector.
