Removing and Replacing a Processor
This section explains how to remove and replace a processor power module and
processor. If there are two processors on your system board, the procedure for removing
them is the same; therefore, this section only explains how to remove a single processor.
CAUTION You must follow the correct sequence of steps provided in this section to avoid any
serious damage to the system.
Removing a Processor
To remove a processor, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the system and disconnect all power and external cables.
2. Remove the system’s access panel(s) (refer to page 37 or page 41 for instructions).
3. Remove the airflow guide and cables (refer to page 67 for instructions).
4. Unscrew the power module’s mounting screws and disconnect the module from its
processor by sliding it toward the back of the system chassis. See Figure 2-57.
