Installing or Replacing the Processor
Note: Use the following instructions to install or replace a processor instead of using the
instructions that came with the processor.
Caution: Processor must be appropriate: If you install a processor that is inappropriate for your
server, you may damage the server board. See “Additional Information and Software” for
a link to the list of compatible processor(s).
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage
to the processor by doing the following: (1) Before touching the processor or server
board, touch the metal chassis. 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.
Installing the Processor
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information” for more information.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server and turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.
4. Remove the server's cover. See the document that came with your server chassis for
instructions on removing the server's cover.
5. Locate the processor socket and open the socket lever (see Figure 8).
