CAUTION:
This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures must be performed only
by Dell certified service technicians.
NOTE: In a sled which has been configured with mixed CPUs – a fabric processor installed in the CPU2 socket and a
non-fabric processor installed in the CPU1 socket, you must connect the external Omnipath link cables to Port 2 on the
OCP carrier card.
Use the following procedure when:
● Removing and installing a heat sink
● Replacing a processor
