Caution:
These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To
avoid damage, ensure that you follow electrostatic discharge safety
measures and antistatic practices. See
Note:
On single-processor systems, processor socket 1 (P1) is shipped without a
