Configuration/Setup

Utility

program

to

determine

the

specific

type

of

microprocessor

that

is

installed

on

the

system

board.

v

The

microprocessor

speeds

are

automatically

set

for

this

server;

therefore,

you

do

not

have

to

set

any

microprocessor

frequency-selection

jumpers

or

switches.

v

If

the

thermal-grease

protective

cover

(for

example,

a

plastic

cap

or

tape

liner)

is

removed

from

the

heat

sink,

do

not

touch

the

thermal

grease

on

the

bottom

of

the

heat

sink

or

set

down

the

heat

sink.

v

If

you

have

to

replace

a

microprocessor,

call

for

service.

v

To

order

additional

microprocessor

options,

contact

your

IBM

marketing

representative

or

authorized

reseller.

See

“System-board

option

connectors”

on

page

21

for

the

location

of

the

microprocessor

connectors

and

the

VRM

connector.

To

install

an

additional

microprocessor,

complete

the

following

steps:

1.

Read

the

safety

information

beginning

on

page

v,

and

“Installation

guidelines”

on

page

22.

2.

Turn

off

the

server

and

disconnect

all

power

cords

and

external

cables

(see

“Turning

off

the

server”

on

page

16);

then,

unlock

and

remove

the

server

cover

(see

“Removing

the

side

cover”

on

page

26).

3.

Rotate

the

power-supply

cage

assembly

out

of

the

chassis:

v

Hot-swap

models:

a.

Remove

the

hot-swap

power-supply.

Press

down

on

the

orange

release

lever

and

pull

the

power

supply

out

of

the

bay,

using

the

handle.

b.

Lift

up

the

power-supply

cage

handle

and

pull

the

power-supply

cage

assembly

all

the

way

up

until

the

retainer

latch

locks

the

cage

in

place

on

the

chassis.

v

Non-hot-swap

models,

lift

up

the

power-supply

cage

handle

and

pull

the

power-supply

cage

assembly

all

the

way

up

until

the

retainer

latch

locks

the

cage

in

place

on

the

chassis.

4.

Remove

the

microprocessor

air

baffle

by

grasping

the

two

tabs

and

squeezing

them

together

slightly

and

lift

the

baffle

out

of

the

server.

5.

Rotate

the

rear

system

fan

air

baffle

up

out

of

the

way

by

grasping

the

tab

and

pulling

the

baffle

all

the

way

up;

then,

slide

it

outward

over

the

rear

of

the

server

until

it

locks

in

place.

6.

Locate

the

second

microprocessor

connector

on

the

system

board.

7.

Install

the

VRM

in

the

VRM

connector:

a.

Turn

the

VRM

so

that

the

VRM

keys

align

correctly

with

the

slot

connector.

b.

Firmly

press

the

VRM

straight

down

into

the

connector

by

applying

pressure

on

both

ends

of

the

VRM

simultaneously.

c.

Make

sure

that

the

retaining

clips

are

in

the

locked

position

when

the

VRM

is

firmly

seated

in

the

connector.

8.

Install

the

microprocessor:

a.

Touch

the

static-protective

package

that

contains

the

microprocessor

to

any

unpainted

metal

surface

on

the

server.

Then,

remove

the

microprocessor

from

the

package.

b.

Remove

the

protective

cover,

tape,

or

label

from

the

surface

of

the

microprocessor

socket,

if

any

is

present.
