To install an additional microprocessor kit:
1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and
disconnect all external cables and power cords (see
"Preparing to install options" on page 96); then
remove the cover (see "Removing the left-side cover
(tower model)" on page 99 or "Removing the cover
(rack model)" on page 100).
2. Remove the terminator card 1 from the
microprocessor connector 2 . Store the terminator
card in a safe place in the static-protective package
that the new microprocessor is shipped in; you will
need to install it again if you ever remove the
microprocessor.
3. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package containing
the new microprocessor to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the
microprocessor from the package.
b. Center the microprocessor 8 over the
microprocessor connector 2 and carefully
press the microprocessor into the connector.
4. Install the VRM 9 included in the microprocessor
kit:
Attention
When installing or replacing a VRM, use only
VRMs specified for use with the xSeries 240
server. Use of other VRMs might cause the
server to overheat.
a. Center the VRM 9 over the VRM connector
3 . Make sure that the VRM is oriented and
aligned correctly.
b. Press the VRM into the connector.
Notes
1. To remove a microprocessor, pull
upward on the microprocessor handle
7 .
2. If you remove the microprocessor later,
remember to install the terminator card
in the appropriate microprocessor
connector and to remove the VRM for
that microprocessor.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so
now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on
page 137.
