Removing a Microprocessor
2. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on
the processor board.
3. Do not touch or bend the exposed pins on a microprocessor.
17 Attention:
a. To avoid damaging the microprocessor during
installation, make sure that the socket latch is fully
opened to the vertical position before you insert the
microprocessor.
b. The microprocessor heat sink clips are under tension.
Be careful when installing or removing the
microprocessor assembly. Do not let the clips scrape
against the processor board, sockets, or other components.
c. Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage
to the microprocessor and server boards by following the
instructions in Notice Number 10.

CAUTION:
If your server has been operating, the heat sinks on the
installed microprocessors will be hot. You can avoid
getting a burn while removing an existing microprocessor
or installing an additional one, if you let the components
cool for 10 minutes before continuing with the procedures
described in this section.
