Replacing the Processor
NOTE
Use the instructions provided below to replace a processor instead of
using the instructions that came with the processor.
CAUTIONS
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
processors.
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.
Follow the instructions below to remove and then install a processor.
