Removing a processor
CAUTION: To prevent thermal instability and damage to the server, do not separate the processor from the
heatsink. The processor, heatsink, and retaining clip make up a single assembly.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, do not mix single- and
dual-core processors or processors with different speeds or cache sizes.
IMPORTANT: If upgrading processor speed or adding additional processors, update the system ROM
before installing the processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not
function properly.
IMPORTANT: Always install a PPM when you install a processor. The system fails to boot if the PPM is
missing.
1. Power down the server (on page 16).
2. Remove the processor module ("Removing the processor module" on page 20).
