Replacing the processor

Your server is compatible with the Intel® Pentium® 4 or Intel® Celeron® processor. The server automatically detects the processor each time you turn on the server. Whenever you install a new processor, you should first install the most current version of the BIOS. For more information, see “Updating the BIOS” on page 57.

Warning A heat sink must be installed on the processor. Installing a processor without a heat sink could damage the processor.

Warning The processor and heat sink may be hot if the computer has been running. Also, there may be sharp edges on the heat sink. Consider wearing protective gloves.
