Installing the CPU module

NOTE: The CPU module may be fatally damaged by static electricity because it consists of precise electronic parts. The human body contains static electricity. Therefore, discharge the static electricity before installing the CPU module. Static electricity can be discharged by touching a nearby metallic object with your fingers.

Install the CPU module in the procedure described below, while referring to “Before starting operation” on page 48:

1If the server is running, shut it down and switch off the power.

2Unplug the power cable.

NOTE: Installing the CPU module while the power is on could cause damage to the server or the CPU.

3Remove the server panels.

See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 54.

CAUTION: Do not extend or replace the CPU module immediately after the power is switched off. This may cause burns due to the heat generated by the CPU and its peripherals.

4Remove two screws that fix the PCI bracket, and remove the PCI bracket.
