7. Install the microprocessor:
a. Pull out and lift up on the microprocessor-release lever to unlock the
microprocessor socket.
b. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to
any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the
microprocessor from the package.
c. Center the microprocessor over the microprocessor socket. Align the
triangle on the corner of the microprocessor with the triangle on the corner
of the socket and carefully press the microprocessor into the socket.
Attention:
v Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into the
socket.
v Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned correctly with
pin number 1 in the socket before you try to close the lever. The
following illustration shows the alignment marks for microprocessor 2
and microprocessor socket 2.

d. Carefully close the lever to secure the microprocessor in the socket.
8. Install a heat sink on the microprocessor:
Attention:
v Do not set the heat sink down after you remove the plastic cover.
Thermal grease
v Do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink. Touching
the thermal grease will contaminate it. If the thermal grease on the
microprocessor or heat sink becomes contaminated, contact your service
technician.
a. Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the heat sink.
b. Align and place the heat sink on top of the microprocessor with the thermal
grease side down. Press firmly on the heat sink.
c. Secure the heat sink to the microprocessor by tightening the captive
screws. Alternate between the two captive screws in the heat sink while
tightening them.
Attention:
If you do not alternate the tightening of the two captive
screws, you might damage the microprocessor. Ensure that the screws are
completely tightened; otherwise, the server will not function properly.
