Replacing a microprocessor and heat sink

Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see
"Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 32.
Notes:
v If your server comes with one Intel Pentium 1400 series microprocessor, the
second microprocessor socket is not used. The server supports only one Intel
Pentium microprocessor. If you plan to install two Intel Xeon microprocessors in
the server, you must first remove the Intel Pentium microprocessor that came
with the server.
v See "Installing an additional microprocessor and heat sink" on page 50 for notes
and other information that you must consider when you install a
microprocessor.
v Be extremely careful, the pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins
may require replacing the system board.
v Use the microprocessor installation tool that came with the new microprocessor
to remove the microprocessor from the server. Failure to use the microprocessor
tool may cause damage to the pins on the socket. Any damage to the pins may
require replacing the system board.
To install an additional microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page Safety and "Installation
guidelines" on page 30.
2. Remove the socket cover from the microprocessor socket, if it is installed.
