Processor cautions
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel should attempt to replace or
install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor configurations must
contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before installing the processor.
To download firmware and view installation instructions, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website.
CAUTION: THE CONTACTS ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED. To avoid damage to the socket or
