Removing a processor

1. Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page 18).
NOTE: To install a new processor module, remove all processors
and PPMs from the processor module. Reinstall the processors and
PPMs into the replacement processor module.
CAUTION: To prevent thermal instability and damage to the
server, do not separate the processor from the heatsink. The processor,
heatsink, and retaining clip make up a single assembly.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to
the equipment, do not mix processors of different types.
IMPORTANT: If upgrading processor speed or adding additional
processors, update the system ROM before installing the processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must be
populated at all times or the server will not function properly.
IMPORTANT: Always install a PPM when you install a processor.
The system fails to boot if the PPM is missing.
