CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade malfunction, do not mix processors of different
speeds or cache sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the
processor.
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 14).
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.
