Processor Installation
One or two processors may be installed to the mainboard of each blade unit. See
Chapter 1
for general information on the features of the blade unit and the
web site
for further details including processor, memory and operating system support.
WARNING: This action should only be performed by a trained service
technician. Allow the processor heatsink to cool before removing it.
Removing a Processor
1. Power down and remove the blade unit from the enclosure (see
Installing Blade Modules on page 3-1
2. Remove the cover of the blade unit (see
page
3-2).
3. Loosen the four screws that secure the heatsink to the mainboard.
4. Remove the heatsink by gently rotating it back-and-forth sideways with your fingers
to release it from the processor. Set the heatsink aside and upside-down so that
nothing comes into contact with the thermal grease on its underside.
5. Raise the lever of the processor socket up until the processor is released from the
socket, then lift the silver cover plate and remove the processor.
WARNING: This action should only be performed by a trained service
technician.
Installing a Processor
1. If present, remove the protective black PnP cap from the processor socket.
2. Raise the lever of the processor socket until it reaches its upper limit.
3. Lift the silver cover plate completely up and out of the way.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the pins protruding from the CPU socket.
4. Align the CPU key (the semi-circle cutout) with the socket key (the notch below the
gold color dot on the side of the socket)
5. Once the CPU and the socket are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down
into the socket. Do not rub the CPU against the surface of the socket or its pins to
avoid damaging the CPU or the socket.
6. With the CPU in the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that it
sits level and is properly installed.
