IBM xSeries 330 manual Installing the microprocessor

Installing the microprocessor

Complete the following steps to install an additional microprocessor:

Attention: When you handle electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices (ESD), take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD: http://www.ibm.com/

1.Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 107.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cord and all external cables; then remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 44 for details).

3.Remove the clear shield from the server and store it in a safe place.

4.Lift up the microprocessor release lever and remove the terminator card from the microprocessor connector. (After you remove the new microprocessor from the static-protective package, place the terminator card in the bag and store it in a safe place. You will need to install the terminator card again if you ever remove the microprocessor and do not replace the microprocessor.)

5.Install the microprocessor:

a.Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the package.

b.Orient the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector as shown in the illustration. Carefully press the microprocessor into the connector.

Note: To avoid bending the pins on the microprocessor, do not use excessive force when pressing it into the connector.
