Microprocessor Installation - IBM xSeries 200 Hardware Maintenance Manual

7. Pull out and lift up the release lever and remove the microprocessor from the
connector. Store the microprocessor in a static-protective package for possible
future use.
8. To install a new microprocessor, continue with step 4 in "Microprocessor
installation."

Microprocessor installation

Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
Attention:
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see "Handling
electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 106.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in Statement 1 and Statement 5 in "Safety
information" on page 103.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the cover (see "Side cover removal" on page
42 for details).
3. Remove the support-bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector (SYSFA1) on the system board. See "Removing the support bracket
assembly" on page 45 and "System board internal cable connectors" on page
38 for instructions.
4. 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. Pull out and lift up on the microprocessor-release lever to unlock the
microprocessor connector.
c. Arrange the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector as shown in
the following illustration. Carefully press the microprocessor into the
connector.
Attention: Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into
the connector.
5. Push the microprocessor-release lever down to lock the microprocessor into
the connector.
6. Install the new heat or fan sink that comes with the microprocessor option.
