8. Open the microprocessor bracket frame by lifting up the tab on the top edge.
9. Carefully lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket, and place it
on a static-protective surface.
10. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor and heat sink, follow all
packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are
supplied to you.
Replacing the microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to replace the microprocessor and heat sink
To install the microprocessor and heat sink on the 4U server model with
non-hot-swap power supplies, complete the following steps. For 5U server models
with hot-swap power supplies, please see the next sub-section.
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 35.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the microprocessor from
the package.
3. Remove the protective cover, tape, or label from the surface of the
microprocessor socket, if any is present.
4. Rotate the release lever on the microprocessor socket to the fully open
position.
Attention: Make sure that the release lever on the microprocessor socket is
in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in the socket.
Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the microprocessor,
microprocessor socket, and system board.
5. Carefully grasp the microprocessor and place the microprocessor into the
microprocessor socket.
Note: To maintain correct orientation between the microprocessor and the
microprocessor socket during installation, observe the following information:
v The microprocessor has two notches that are keyed to two tabs on the sides
of the socket.
v A triangle-shaped indicator on one corner of the microprocessor points to a
45-degree angle on the system board.
v Do not use excessive force when you press the microprocessor into the
socket.
6. Close the microprocessor bracket frame; then, close the microprocessor
retention latch and lock it securely in place.
