To add an additional processor:
1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 22.)
3Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)
4Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover panel” on page 26.)
5Open the locking lever on the processor socket by moving the lever slightly out to the side and then lifting it up 90 degrees.
6Hold the new processor over the empty processor socket and verify that pin 1 on both the processor and the socket are aligned. Pin 1 is near the marked corner.
7Gently place the new processor into the socket.
8Secure the processor by lowering the locking lever until the lever latches into place. The processor will slip into place without pressure when aligned correctly.
9Install the heatsink as described in “To Replace the Heatsink” on page 58.
10Connect the power supply cable of the processor fan to the second CPU fan connector on the system board (See “System board” on page 8 for location).
11Replace the bezel. (See “Replacing the bezel” on page 28.)
12Close the case by following the instructions on page 27.
13Reconnect the cords you removed, then turn on the server.
