Processor installation
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the system board:
• Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
•
Always install the processor socket cover after
removing the processor from the socket.
• Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the
processor into the socket.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
•
Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially
the contact area.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server malfunction and
damage to the equipment, multiprocessor configurations
must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION:
The server blade supports only two- or four-
processor configurations. Always populate processor
sockets 1 and 2 with processors
and heatsinks. To prevent
overheating, always populate processor sockets 3 and 4
with processors and heatsinks
or processor socket covers
and heatsink blanks.
CAUTION:
The heatsink thermal interface media is not
reusable and must be replaced if the heatsink is remove
d
from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT:
Processor sockets 1 and 2 must always be
populated. If either processor
socket is empty, the server
blade does not power up.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server blade.
2.
Remove the server blade.
3. Remove the access panel.
4.
Remove the heatsink blank. Retain the heatsink blank for future
use.
CAUTION:
The pins on the processor socket are very
fragile. Any damage to them may require replacing the
system board.
5. Remove the processor socket protective cover. Retain the cover
for future use.
CAUTION:
Failure to completely open the processor
retaining latch prevents the processor from seating during
installation, leading to hardware damage.
6. Open the processor retaining la
tch and the processor socket
retaining bracket.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the processor remains inside the
processor installation tool.
7. If the processor has separated from the installation tool,
carefully re-insert the processor in the tool.
8.
Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install
the processor.
CAUTION:
The processor is designed to fit one way into
the socket. Use the alignment guides on the processor and
socket to properly align th
e processor with the socket.
