Selecting the Correct Processor Removal and
Replacement Tool
Caution -
to remove and replace a processor; otherwise, the processor or the processor socket might
be damaged. Additionally, do not use a tool that is designed for earlier generations of Intel
processors (CPUs). If you use an earlier generation tool, the processor will only be partially
held by the tool and it could fall from the tool, which could damage the processor socket.
Selecting the correct processor removal and replacement tool is a two-step process. First you
determine the size of the processor that is being replaced, then you select the removal and
replacement tool that fits that size.
The processors supported by the Oracle Server X5-2L are available in two sizes. The processors
with 10 or fewer cores are smaller than the processors with 12 or more cores. You can
determine the size of the processor that you are going to remove and replace in either of these
two ways:
Use Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.2 to display processor information.
