Local Memory Configuration - IBM System x3850 X5 Implementation Manual

Figure 6-2 Processor installation and removal tool
To use the tool, perform the following steps:
1. When the processor is not installed in the server, ensure that you place the processor flat
on an antistatic bag or mat, with the contact pads facing down.
2. Rotate the blue handle at the top of the tool so that the tool is in the unlocked position.
3. Place the tool over the top of the processor with the pin 1 indicator of the processor lined
up with the pin 1 indicator on the tool.
4. Rotate the blue handle to the locked position to securely hold the processor inside the
processor removal tool.
5. When the processor is being removed from the processor socket, lift the processor straight
up out of the processor socket.
6. When placing the processor into the processor socket, ensure the processor socket has
its protective cover removed and is open to receive the processor. Line up the pin 1
indicator on the tool with the pin 1 indicator on the processor socket and carefully lower the
processor into the socket. The two holes on the processor removal tool need to line up
with the two bolt heads that secure the processor socket to the system board.
7. When you have placed the processor in the desired location, rotate the blue handle back
to the open position to release the tool from the placed processor. Carefully lift the tool
from the processor.

6.3 Local memory configuration

Section 3.8, "Memory" on page 76 covers all of the various technical considerations regarding
memory configuration for the System x3850 X5. You have a great deal of flexibility when
configuring the memory for this server. However, as a result, you might configure a less than
optimal memory environment.
Before you begin this section, understand the purpose of this server. File servers that are
used to provide access to disk storage for other servers or workstations are affected less by
poor memory latency speed than a database or mail server. Servers that are used as
