Installing a processor
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the system board:
Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
Always install the processor socket cover after
removing the processor from the socket.
Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the
processor into the socket.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor:
Handle the processor only by the edges.
Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially
the contact area.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server malfunction and
damage to the equipment, multiprocessor configurations
must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server blade overheating,
always populate processor socket 2 with a processor and
a heatsink or a processor cover and a heatsink blank.
CAUTION:
The heatsink thermal interface media is not
reusable and must be replaced if the heatsink is removed
from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT:
When installing the heatsink, align the
guide pins on the processor retention bracket with the
alignment holes in the heatsink.
IMPORTANT:
Processor socket 1 must always be
populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the server blade
does not power up.
NOTE:
Do not discard the processor protective cover.
Always install the processor protective cover if the
processor is removed from the socket.
IMPORTANT:
If upgrading processor speed or adding
additional processors, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
