Installing A Microprocessor And Heat Sink - IBM 7383 Installation And Service Manual

7. If you do not intend to install a microprocessor on the socket, install the socket
cover that you removed before on the microprocessor socket.
Attention: The pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may
require replacing the system board.
What to do next
If you are instructed to return the component or optional device, follow all
packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are
supplied to you.

Installing a microprocessor and heat sink

Use this information to install a microprocessor and heat sink.
Before you begin
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor
and heat sink:
v Microprocessors are to be installed only by trained technicians.
Important: Always use the microprocessor installation tool to install a
microprocessor. Failing to use the microprocessor installation tool may damage
the microprocessor sockets on the system board. Any damage to the
microprocessor sockets may require replacing the system board.
v The server supports certain Intel Xeon scalable multi-core microprocessors,
which are designed for the LGA 2011 socket. These microprocessors are 64-bit
dual-core or quad-core microprocessors with an integrated memory controller,
quick-path interconnect, and shared last cache. See http://www.ibm.com/
systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us for a list of supported
microprocessors.
v Do not mix microprocessors with different cores in the same server.
v The server supports up to two microprocessors when the microprocessor 2
expansion board is installed.
Note: Microprocessor 2 expansion board is supported when the second
microprocessor is installed.
