Microprocessor

The server only supports one microprocessor, which is installed on the system
board in the microprocessor connector (U11).

Microprocessor removal

The server comes with a heat sink or a fan sink installed on the microprocessor,
depending on your server model.

Remove the AGP video adapter only if you are replacing the DIMM in
connector 1. See "System and PCI extender board options connectors" on
page 37 for the location of the AGP slot.
b. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector. Turn the
DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM
connectors, open and close the clips gently.
c. Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.
d. Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.
e. Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the DIMM edges with the
slots at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight
down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the locked position
when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.
f. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not
been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the
DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.
g. If you removed the AGP video adapter, reinstall it now. See "Adapter

Before you install a new microprocessor, review the documentation that comes
with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to
update the server BIOS code. The latest level of the BIOS for the server is
available through the World Wide Web; see http://www.ibm.com/support/.
