Installing a Second Processor
This section provides the instructions for installing a second processor and its
heatsink on the system board. Figure 6-1 indicates the location of the primary and
secondary processors.
CAUTION Take the following precautions when installing processors:
• Leave the processor in the anti-static bag until you are
ready to install it.
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-dissipating
work surface or grounding mat connected to the chassis
when handling components.
• Before removing a processor from the anti-static bag,
touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge
static electricity.
