Processors WARNING
If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on
the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be
careful when removing or installing server board components that are
located near processors.
CAUTION
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server if you install
a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your server can
handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power considerations). For
exact information about processor interchangeability, contact your customer
service representative or visit the Intel Customer Support website:
http://support.intel.com/
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.
Adding or Replacing a Processor
If you are adding a second processor to your system, the second processor must be compatible with
the first processor (within one stepping, same voltage, same speed, see the Intel Customer Support
website for specifics).
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this document.
2. Raise the locking bar on the socket.
