Server Board Installations and Upgrades Removing DIMMs To remove a DIMM, follow these steps: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See "Safety Information." 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3. Remove the AC power cord from the server. 4. Remove the server's cover. See your chassis documentation for instructions. 5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket. 6. Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package. 7. Reconnect or replace any internal components you needed to disconnect or remove. 8. Replace the server's cover. Reconnect any external components you needed to disconnect. 9. Attach the AC power cord. Installing or Replacing the Processor NOTES Use the instructions provided below to install or replace a processor instead of using the instructions that came with the processor. If a single processor is to be used, it must be installed in the processor socket labeled CPU1. This socket is located closest to the corner of the server board. When installing a second processor, verify that the processors are identical and of the same voltage and speed. Do not mix processors of different types or frequencies. CAUTIONS Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. See "Additional Information and Software" for a link to the list of compatible processors. ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
