Processors
WARNING
If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on
the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be
careful when removing or installing server board components that are
located near processors.
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server if you
install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your
server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power
considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability,
contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer
Support web site:

Heat sink must be appropriate: Depending on your configuration, the
existing processor may have a passive heat sink. If you REPLACE the
processor with a faster one, it must have an active fan heat sink (powered fan
instead of a passive heat sink). If you ADD a second processor, it must have
a fan heat sink. When adding a processor, you must leave the existing one in
the primary connector (closest to the DIMM slots on the server board).
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch
the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge
while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
