new microprocessor comes in; you will need to install it again, if you ever remove
the microprocessor and do not replace it.
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.
c. Press down and latch the release lever.
Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor release

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.
