v Both microprocessor voltage regulator modules are integrated on the system
board.
v If you have to replace a microprocessor, call for service.
v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can
determine whether you have to update the server firmware. To download the
latest level of server firmware and other code updates for your server, complete
the following steps:
1. Go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support.
2. Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select
Servers and Storage from the Select your product list.
3. From Family list, select ThinkServer RD210, and click Continue.
4. Click Downloads and drivers to download firmware updates.
v
The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you
do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.
v If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner) is
removed from the heat sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of
the heat sink or set down the heat sink. For more information about applying or
working with thermal grease, see “Thermal grease” on page 75.
Note: Removing the heat sink from the microprocessor destroys the even
distribution of the thermal grease and requires replacing the thermal grease.
v To order an additional optional microprocessor, contact your marketing
representative or authorized reseller.
To install an additional microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 41.
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 39.
2. Install the microprocessor:
a. Press down and out on the release lever on microprocessor socket and lift
up the microprocessor release lever until it stops in the fully open position.
b. Lift the hinged microprocessor bracket frame into an open position and
remove the microprocessor dust cover, tape, or label from the surface of the
microprocessor socket, if one is present. Store the dust cover in a safe
place.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these
devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 41.
c. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new microprocessor to
any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor
from the package.
