Attention:
When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices,
see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 12.
d. Touch the static-protective package containing the microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the microprocessor
and power module from the package.
Attention:
1) Forcing the microprocessor socket lock clockwise beyond the closed
position might damage the socket locking mechanism. Before you
install a microprocessor in the socket, use the hex wrench provided
with the microprocessor option to close and open the socket lock to
observe the locking flag in the closed position. Also, note the resistance
of the locking mechanism in the closed position. When installing the
microprocessor, do not force the socket lock clockwise beyond the
closed position. If you need to see the microprocessor socket lock
clearly, shine a flashlight over the microprocessor connector.
2) Ensure that the microprocessor is aligned and seated correctly before
you proceed. To avoid bending the pins on the microprocessor, do not
use excessive force when pressing it into the socket.
e. Insert the microprocessor gently into the connector. The microprocessor
rests flat on the retention mechanism when properly seated.
f. Lock the socket lock, using the hex wrench provided with the
microprocessor option.
g. Tighten the heat-sink screws to secure the microprocessor, using the
T-handled Torx wrench provided with the microprocessor option.
h. Slide the power module gently into the microprocessor.
i. Tighten the power-module screws to secure the power module.
