Replacing or adding a processor 59
To add an additional processor:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See Preventing static
electricity discharge on page 22.)
3 Remove the bezel. (See Removing the bezel on page 25.)
4 Remove the left side cover panel. (See Removing the side cover panel
on page 26.)
5 Open the locking lever on the processor socket by moving the lever
slightly out to the side and then lifting it up 90 degrees.
6 Hold the new processor over the empty processor socket and verify that
pin 1 on both the processor and the socket are aligned. Pin 1 is near the
marked corner.
7 Gently place the new processor into the socket.
8 Secure the processor by lowering the locking lever until the lever latches
into place. The processor will slip into place without pressure when
aligned correctly.
9 Install the heatsink as described in To Replace the Heatsink on page 58.
10 Connect the power supply cable of the processor fan to the second CPU
fan connector on the system board (See System board on page 8 for
location).

12 Close the case by following the instructions on page 27.
13 Reconnect the cords you removed, then turn on the server.
