Hardware options installation
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
The server uses embedded PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to provide the proper power to each processor.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server 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: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 7).
2. For ML110 G6 Servers, extend the server from the rack.
3. For ML150 G6 Servers, do one of the following:
o Unlock and remove the bezel ("Remove the tower bezel (ML150 G6 servers)" on page 8).
o Extend the server from the rack.
4. Remove the access panel (on page 7).
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking lever prevents the processor from
seating during installation, leading to hardware damage.
