Installing or Replacing the Processor
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor
that is inappropriate for your server. See Supported Processor List
for compatible processor(s).
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.
