• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the heatsink is
removed from the processor after it has been installed.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade overheating, always populate each processor socket with a
processor socket cover and a heatsink blank or a processor and a heatsink.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the server
blade does not power up.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 12).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 13).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 13).
4. Remove the heatsink blank. Retain the heatsink blank for future use.
CAUTION: The pins on the processor socket are very fragile. Any damage to them may require replacing
the system board.
