Drive-tray assembly Drive handle Filler panel Complete the following steps to install a hard disk drive. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay. 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 7. 2. Remove the filler panel. 3. Place the drive handle in the open position and slide the drive into the bay. 4. Close the drive handle. 5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. 6. Go to "Completing the installation" on page 22. Installing an additional microprocessor The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor: v When you install the microprocessor in socket J23, you must also install the voltage regulator module (VRM) that comes with the microprocessor in VRM connector J72. v If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner) is removed from the heat sink or fan sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink or fan sink or set down the heat sink or fan sink. Note: Removing the heat sink or fan sink from the microprocessor destroys the even distribution of the thermal grease and requires replacing the thermal grease. Setting down the heat sink or fan sink onto any surface when the thermal-grease protective cover is removed will contaminate the thermal grease. If the thermal grease becomes contaminated with particles, it must be replaced. For information about replacing contaminated thermal grease on the heat sink or fan sink, contact IBM Services. For support phone numbers, go to http://www.ibm.com/planetwide/, or in the U.S. and Canada, call 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378). Have the following information ready when you call: - Machine type and model - Serial number of your server or computer The following illustration is a simplified layout of the microprocessor connector locations and other microprocessor-related components on the system board. 18 IBM xSeries 346 Type 8840: Installation Guide

Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
hard
disk
drive.
Attention:
To
maintain
proper
system
cooling,
do
not
operate
the
server
for
more
than
10
minutes
without
either
a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
installed
in
each
bay.
1.
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
v
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
7.
2.
Remove
the
filler
panel.
3.
Place
the
drive
handle
in
the
open
position
and
slide
the
drive
into
the
bay.
4.
Close
the
drive
handle.
5.
If
you
have
other
options
to
install
or
remove,
do
so
now.

Installing
an
additional
microprocessor
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
microprocessor
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
microprocessor:
v
When
you
install
the
microprocessor
in
socket
J23,
you
must
also
install
the
voltage
regulator
module
(VRM)
that
comes
with
the
microprocessor
in
VRM
connector
J72.
v
If
the
thermal-grease
protective
cover
(for
example,
a
plastic
cap
or
tape
liner)
is
removed
from
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink,
do
not
touch
the
thermal
grease
on
the
bottom
of
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink
or
set
down
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink.
Note:
Removing
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink
from
the
microprocessor
destroys
the
even
distribution
of
the
thermal
grease
and
requires
replacing
the
thermal
grease.
Setting
down
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink
onto
any
surface
when
the
thermal-grease
protective
cover
is
removed
will
contaminate
the
thermal
grease.
If
the
thermal
grease
becomes
contaminated
with
particles,
it
must
be
replaced.
For
information
about
replacing
contaminated
thermal
grease
on
the
heat
sink
or
fan
sink,
contact
IBM
Services.
For
support
phone
numbers,
go
to
or
in
the
U.S.
and
Canada,
call
1-800-IBM-SERV
(1-800-426-7378).
Have
the
following
information
ready
when
you
call:
Machine
type
and
