Removing Dimms; Installing Or Replacing A Processor; Installing A Processor - MAXDATA PLATINUM 500 I System Manual

Removing DIMMs

To remove a DIMM, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.
. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
. Remove the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server's cover.
5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket.
6. Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package.
7. Reconnect or replace any internal components you needed to disconnect or remove.
8. Replace the server's cover. Reconnect any external components you needed to disconnect.
9. Attach the AC power cord.

Installing or Replacing a Processor

/
NOTE
Use the instructions provided below to install or replace a processor instead of using the instructions
that came with the processor.
If a single processor is to be used, it must be installed in the processor socket labeled CPU1.
When installing a second processor, verify that the processors are identical and of the same voltage
and speed. Do not mix processors of different types or frequencies.
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that
is inappropriate for your server.
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the
processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server
board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the processor. () Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Installing a Processor

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions above and at the beginning of this book.
. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
. Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server's cover.
5. Remove the memory and processor air duct.
6. Locate the processor sockets (see Figure  on page 10).
7. Disconnect and remove any components necessary to access the processor sockets.
8. Push down the lever on the processor socket. While pushing downward, push it away from
the socket to release it from the hook. Open the socket lever completely. See figure 14.
