1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii, and "Installation guidelines"
on page 32.
2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables (see
"Turning off the server" on page 22); then, unlock and remove the server cover
(see "Removing the left-side cover" on page 36).
3. Carefully lay the server on its side so that it is lying flat and facing up.
Note: Be careful and do not drop the server.
4. Rotate the power-supply cage assembly out of the chassis. Lift up the
power-supply cage handle and pull the power-supply cage assembly all the
way up until the retainer latch locks the cage in place on the chassis.
5. Remove the air baffle (see "Removing the air baffle" on page 42).
6. Install the VRM in the VRM connector:
a. Open the retaining clip on each end of the VRM connector on the system
board.
b. Turn the VRM so that the VRM keys align correctly with the slot connector.
c. Firmly press the VRM straight down into the connector by applying
pressure on both ends of the VRM simultaneously.
d. Make sure that the retaining clips are in the locked position when the VRM
is firmly seated in the connector.
7. Locate the second microprocessor connector on the system board.
8. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package that contains the microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the microprocessor
from the package.
b. Remove the protective cover, tape, or label from the surface of the
microprocessor socket, if any is present.
Attention:
Make sure that the release latch on the microprocessor socket
is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in the
socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the
microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and system board.
