Attention:
When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices,
see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 8.
6. If necessary, remove the microprocessor baffle from the microprocessor
socket. Keep the microprocessor baffle for possible future use.
7. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from
the package.
8. Install the microprocessor:
Important: When installing Intel Xeon DP microprocessors, you must install
them in the following order: socket 1 then socket 4. When installing Intel Xeon
MP microprocessors, you must install them in the following order: sockets 1, 2,
3, and then 4.
a. Remove the protective label from the microprocessor socket.
b. Rotate the locking lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and
locked position until it stops or clicks in the fully open position
(approximately 135° angle), as shown.
Attention:
You must ensure that the locking lever on the microprocessor
socket is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in
the socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the
microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and SMP expansion board.

c. Align the triangle icon on the microprocessor with the triangle icon on the
socket and press the microprocessor gently into the socket.
Attention:
Make sure that the microprocessor is aligned correctly before
you proceed. To avoid bending the pins on the microprocessor, do not use
excessive force when pressing it into the socket.
d. Close the locking lever to secure the microprocessor.
9. Install the VRM in the slot adjacent to the microprocessor socket by holding
the new VRM by the upper corners, and plug it firmly into the slot.
Attention:
The new microprocessor comes in a kit with a VRM. Some
microprocessor options contain a VRM with a clip to secure the VRM in the
slot. This clip is not needed for installations in your server and can be
discarded. When installing a new microprocessor, you must install the VRM
that comes in the kit.
