Next steps
1. Install the fabric processor into the processor heat sink module.
Installing the fabric processor into the processor heat sink module
Prerequisites
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.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
Steps
1. Ensure that the processor is in the CPU tray.
NOTE: Ensure that pin 1 indicator on the CPU tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.
2. Flex the outer edges of the bracket around the processor, close to the fabric connector, ensuring that the processor is
locked into the clips on the bracket.
3. Press the other end of the bracket to ensure that the clip is locked on to the processor.
NOTE:
Ensure that the pin 1 indicator on the bracket is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before placing
the bracket on the processor.
