  • Page 30: Removal Procedure

    DIMM. 5.2 Replacing the Processors and Heatsinks The A2210 system is designed to work with an AMD Opteron™ processor in a 940-pin package. Typically a A2210 system is populated with two processors, but it is also possible to operate the server using only one processor. In this case, the processor is placed in the H0 slot, which is the slot on the left when the chassis is viewed from the front.
  • Page 31 U S E R ’ S M A N U A L 2. The heatsinks are each held in place by a clip that is anchored by two screws. Remove the screws as shown in Figure 9. When the clip is unscrewed, the heatsink and lid will still be stuck to each other.

    6.5 Replacing the PCI Riser Card The A2210 uses one of two PCI riser cards – one that supports two PCI-X cards, or one that only supports one. It is preferable to use the single-card riser if only one PCI-X card is used in a system.

  • Page 40: Replacing The Pci-X Cards

    Replace all PCI-X cards. 6.6 Replacing the PCI-X Cards The A2210 system can support up to two PCI-X cards. The PCI-X cards are contained within a cage in the rear of the chassis. 1. The cage is not held in place by any screws, so it can be lifted straight out after moving the SCSI cable connected to Dual-Channel SCSI Controller Board out of the way, as shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19.
