Installing or Replacing the Processor

Server Board Installations and Upgrades

NOTES

Use the instructions provided below to install or replace a processor instead of using the instructions that came with the processor.

CAUTIONS

Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the list of compatible processors.

ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic

discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Installing the Processor

To install a processor, follow these instructions:

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this document.

2.Locate the processor socket and raise the socket handle completely. See Figure 7, letter A.

3.Aligning the pins of the processor with the socket, insert the processor into the socket. See letter B in the figure below

4.Close the handle completely. See letter C.
