SBI-7127R-S6 Blade Module User’s Manual

3-3 Processor Installation

One or two processors may be installed to the mainboard of each blade unit. See Chapter 1 for general information on the features of the blade unit and the Supermicro web site for further details including processor, memory and operating system support.

Caution: This action should only be performed by a trained service technician. Allow the processor heatsink to cool before removing it.

Removing a Processor

1.Power down and remove the blade unit from the enclosure (see Section 3-2: Installing Blade Modules on page 3-1for details).

2.Remove the cover of the blade unit (see "Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover" on page 3-2).

3.Loosen the four screws that secure the heatsink to the mainboard.

4.Remove the heatsink by gently rotating it back-and-forth sideways with your fingers to release it from the processor. Set the heatsink aside and upside-down so that nothing comes into contact with the thermal grease on its underside.

5.Raise the lever of the processor socket up until the processor is released from the socket, then lift the silver cover plate and remove the processor.

6.Reapply plastic socket covers to the LGA2011 sockets to prevent pin damage.

Installing a Processor

Caution: This action should only be performed by a trained service technician.

Caution: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area.

Caution: Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

Caution: Important! If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.

Caution: Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.

Caution: When receiving a server board without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
