Installing or Replacing the 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. This
socket is located closest to the corner of the server board.
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. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Installing the Processor

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions above and at the beginning of this book.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3 . Remove power from your system by unplugging the AC power cord.
4. Remove the chassis cover. See your chassis documentation for instructions.
5. Lift the socket lever for the processor.
6. Align the pins of the processor with the socket, and insert the processor into the socket.
Lower the socket lever completely.
