Installing or Replacing the Processor
Caution: Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a 
processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “Additional Information and 
Software” for a link to the list of compatible processor(s). 
Caution: ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to 
the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the 
processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to 
dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around 
unnecessarily.
