CAUTION:
The heat sink and microprocessor might be very hot. Turn off the server and wait three
to five minutes to let the server cool before removing the server cover.
To replace the microprocessor, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See "Removing the server cover" on page 30.
3. Lay the server on its side to get easier access to the system board.

fan assembly" on page 44.
5. Lift the small handle
6. Lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket.
Notes:

b. Note the orientation of the microprocessor in the socket. You can either look for the small triangle
on one corner of the microprocessor or note the orientation of the notches
This is important when installing the new microprocessor on the system board.
