5. Remove the terminator card from the microprocessor connector by lifting the release arm on the carrier. Leave the arm in its open position. Terminator card VRM 2 Fan sink (Remove thermal tape liner on installation) Microprocessor 2 Microprocessor 1 location VRM 1 VRM connector 6. Store the terminator card in a safe place in the static-protective package that your new microprocessor is shipped in; you will need to install it again, if you ever remove the microprocessor. 7. Install the microprocessor: a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the package. b. Line up the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector and carefully press the microprocessor into the connector. Make sure that the corner with the gold arrow is lined up with pin C1 on the planar. c. Press down and latch the release arm. Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor release arm and then lift the microprocessor off of the connector. 8. Install the voltage regulator module (VRM) included in the microprocessor kit. Attention: When installing or replacing a VRM, use only a VRM specified for use with the xSeries 342 server. Use of other VRMs might cause the server to overheat. a. Center the VRM over the VRM connector. Make sure that the VRM is oriented and aligned correctly. b. Press the VRM into the connector. Note: If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector and to remove the VRM. 9. Remove the thermal tape liner from the underside of the fan sink and discard. Installing options 55
