Installing the processor CAUTION: • The server can use two or four processors. • To prevent damage to the pins on the processor socket, always install a cover over an empty processor socket. • Make sure all processors on a server are the same model. To install the processor: Remove the heatsink protective cover.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to a processor, always hold the processor by the edges. Never touch the gold contacts on the processor bottom. a. Tilt the processor, align the small triangle on the processor with the alignment triangle in the retaining bracket, and insert one edge of the processor into the retaining bracket. Place two thumbs against the heatsink, press the other end of the processor, and lower the processor.

Figure 11 Locking the heatsink c. Use a T30 Torx screwdriver to fasten the four captive screws on the heatsink. CAUTION: As a best practice, use a torque of 0.9 N·m (8 in-lbs) to avoid poor contact of the processor or damage to the pins on the processor socket.
Installing DIMMs After you install a new processor, install DIMMs for it. For the DIMM installation guidelines, see the server user guide. To install a DIMM: Open the retaining clips of the DIMM slot. Figure 13 Opening the retaining clips of the DIMM slot Align the notch on the DIMM bottom edge with the key on the DIMM slot.
Figure 14 Installing a DIMM Starting the server Install the chassis air baffle on the server. Align the pegs on both sides of the chassis with the notches in the air baffle, lower down the chassis air baffle, and place it into the chassis. Figure 15 Installing the chassis air baffle Install the access panel.
