Installing a second microprocessor

The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor:
v The server supports certain Intel Xeon scalable multi-core microprocessors,
v The server supports up to two microprocessors. If the server comes with one

5. Pull up the power-supply cage handle, and then swing the power-supply cage
out of the server (see "Opening the power-supply cage" on page 52 for more
information).
6. Remove the air baffle from the server (see "Removing the air baffle" on page
50 for more information).
7. Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.
Attention: To avoid breaking the DIMM retaining clips or damaging the
DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently.
8. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the
package.
9. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector.
slots at the ends of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down
into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM
simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the
DIMM is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM
and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly inserted; open the
retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.
