CAUTION: Be sure that you have the current version of the system ROM. Failure to flash
your ROM with the correct version before installing or replacing the processor causes system
failure. For the most current version of the ROM, go to:

CAUTION: The processor, heatsink, and retaining clip comprise a single assembly.
Separating the processor from the heatsink causes thermal instability and damage to
the server.
