Installing a Processor
D
NOTE
If your system has less than four processors and you are ADDING one, then
you must remove the termination board in the empty Slot 2 connector. The
procedure for removing a termination board is the same as for removing a
processor. See "Removing a Processor" on page 116.
If you plan to reduce the number of processors in your system, then you
must replace a processor with a termination board. The procedure for
installing a termination board is the same for installing a processor.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional
cautions on page 116.
2. Remove the new processor from its antistatic package and place it on a grounded, static-free
surface or conductive foam pad.
3. Orient the S.E.C. cartridge so that the heat sink faces away from the center of the baseboard.
If you are installing a termination board, orient it so that the side with the white bar-code label
faces away from the center of the baseboard.
