35 Upgrading the processor Altos G330 has one LGA775 processor socket that supports a variety of Intel processor models. Refer to page 3 to for a list of these supported processor options. This section explains the procedures for removing and installing the processor and heat sink-fan. Processor configuration precautions • Handle the processor and the HSF assembly carefully. Damage to either may prevent the system from functioning properly. • Do not touch the pins on either the processor or the processor socket; they are very sensitive and are easily damaged. • Do not force the processor into the socket. When properly aligned, the processor will easily fit into place. • Be sure that the server has the most recent ROM version. Failure to flash the ROM before installing a new processor can cause system failure. To upgrade the processor: 1 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 26. 2 Lay the server on its side (components showing). 3 If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that prevent access to the HSF. 4 Remove the HSF from the chassis. (1) Disconnect the processor HSF cable from its mainboard connector. (2) Loosen the four HSF mounting pins.
