Processor cautions

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor or 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: The pins on the processor socket and on the processor are very fragile and easily
damaged. To avoid component damage, do not touch these pins. Any damage to them might require
replacing the system board and/or processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before installing the
processor. To download firmware, contact customer support.
