Attention: To avoid damage and ensure proper server operation install
microprocessors that are the same type, and have the same cache size, have the
same clock speed, and have the same stepping levels (revision levels).
Microprocessor internal clock frequencies and external clock frequencies must be
identical. To determine the stepping level, see the documentation that comes with
the microprocessor. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat
for a list of microprocessors for use with the server.
Complete the following steps to install an additional microprocessor:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, refer to the
following Web site and use a search term of ESD: http://www.ibm.com/
1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety information" on page 135.
2. If the server is running an operating system, shut down the operating system
and then turn off the server and peripheral devices.
3. Remove all Power cords and external cables; then, remove the cover (see
"Removing the cover" on page 51 for details).
4. Lift up the microprocessor-release lever and remove the terminator card from
the microprocessor connector. (After you remove the new microprocessor from
the static-protective package, place the terminator card in the bag and store it
in a safe place. You will need to install the terminator card again if you ever
remove the microprocessor and do not replace the microprocessor.)

5. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to
any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor
from the package.
b. Orient the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector as shown in
the illustration. Carefully press the microprocessor into the connector.
