Installing or Replacing the Processor
Caution: Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “Server System Refer ences” for a link
to the list of compatible processor(s).
Caution: 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.
Caution: Protective socket cover needs to be removed for proper cooling of the processor; failure to
remove the cover could result in damage to the system.
Installing the Processor
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”.
