Handling the Intel® Xeon® Processors
The processors require special handling procedures. Be sure to follow these guidelines when
handling the processors:
Observe the safety precautions, warnings, and cautions described in
Ground yourself with a grounding heel or wrist strap, and an antistatic smock.
Remove processors from the packaging at a clean ESD-protected work surface.
When removing processors from the packaging, keep the package flat on the surface while you
open it so that no processors fall from the packaging.
Hold processors by their sides with the pins facing down.
To avoid mechanical and/or ESD damage, do not touch the cartridge pin array or PCB
components.
When placing processors on the clean ESD-protected work surface, place them with their pins
facing down. Do not stack processors on top of each other.
