Removing and Installing a Processor

This subsection provides the procedures for removing and installing a Xeon processor in your system. The system board has sockets for two processors. Each Xeon processor plugs into a standard Xeon ZIF socket. The processor comes with up to 512K cache. The primary processor connector is shown in the illustration below (see Figure 4-6, C). The secondary processor connector is shown in the illustration below (Figure 4-6, B).

!CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components; place them on an antistatic surface. Modify the system board using an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground.
