Step 10. If you do not intend to install a microprocessor on the socket, install the socket cover that you
removed in Step 9 on page 217 on the microprocessor socket.
Attention: The pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may require replacing the
system board.
Step 11. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor, follow all packaging instructions, and use any
packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.

Replacing a microprocessor and heat sink

Use this information to replace a microprocessor and heat sink.
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that
you must consider when you install a microprocessor and heat sink:
• Microprocessors are to be installed only by trained technicians.
Important: Always use the microprocessor installation tool to install a microprocessor. Failing to use
the microprocessor installation tool may damage the microprocessor sockets on the system board. Any
damage to the microprocessor sockets may require replacing the system board.
• The server supports up to two Intel Xeon™ E5-2600 v4 series multi-core microprocessors, which are
designed for the LGA 2011 socket. See http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/ for a list of supported
microprocessors.
• Do not mix microprocessors with different cores in the same server.
• The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on the system board.
• When one microprocessor is installed, the air baffle must be installed to provide proper system cooling.
• Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board when you install the second
microprocessor.
• When you install the second microprocessor, you must also install additional memory and the fourth fan.
See "Installing a memory module" on page 129 for details about the installation sequence.
• To ensure proper server operation when you install an additional microprocessor, use microprocessors
that have the same QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link speed, integrated memory controller frequency, core
frequency, power segment, internal cache size, and type.
