• To order an additional optional microprocessor, contact your IBM sales representative or IBM reseller.
The installation tool has two settings for installing two different sizes of microprocessors. The settings
that are marked on tool are "L" for smaller low core microprocessors, and "H" for larger high core
microprocessors. Installation tool supports the following families of microprocessors: E5-26xx, E5-46xx,
E5-26xx v2, E5-46xx v2.
To replace a microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Read the safety information that begins on "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 89.
Step 2.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
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 91.
Step 3.
Remove the cover (see "Removing the compute node cover" on page 105).
Step 4.
Remove the air baffle (see "Removing the air baffle" on page 108).
Step 5.
Loosen the four screws on the corners of the microprocessor retainer.
Step 6.
Open the microprocessor socket release levers and retainer:

a.
Identify which release lever is labeled as the first release lever to open and open it.
b.
Open the second release lever on the microprocessor socket.
c.
Open the microprocessor retainer.
Attention: Do not touch the connectors on the microprocessor and the microprocessor socket.
Step 7.
Install the microprocessor in the microprocessor socket:
a.
Open the packaging that contains the new microprocessor installation tool assembly and
carefully remove the installation tool assembly from the package.
Note: Do not touch the microprocessor contacts. Contaminants on the microprocessor
contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between the contacts
and the socket.
b.
Remove the microprocessor protective cover if one is present. The microprocessor is
preinstalled on the installation tool.
