Dell™ PowerEdge™ 63xx Systems Installing a Microprocessor or Terminator Card WARNING: The power supplies in your PowerEdge system may produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm. Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the computer cover and access any of the components inside the computer. For more information, see "Safety Instructions" in your system's Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. This document updates information contained in your Dell PowerEdge system documentation. The guide-bracket assemblies, which hold the microprocessors or terminator cards, have been redesigned. The following sections describe how to remove or install a microprocessor or terminator card in a guide bracket assembly. Removing a Microprocessor or Terminator Card Each microprocessor is contained within a single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge and heat sink assembly. If your system has only one microprocessor, the remaining guidebracket assembly connectors must contain terminator cards. To remove a microprocessor or a terminator card, perform the following steps. CAUTION: The SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly can get extremely hot during system operation. Be sure that the assembly has had sufficient time to cool before you touch it. CAUTION: When handling the SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly, take care to avoid sharp edges on the heat sink. WARNING: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the computer and disconnect it from its AC power source.
