Installing the CPU module
NOTE: The CPU module may be fatally damaged by static
electricity because it consists of precise electronic parts. The
human body contains static electricity. Therefore, discharge
the static electricity before installing the CPU module. Static
electricity can be discharged by touching a nearby metallic
object with your fingers.
Install the CPU module in the procedure described below, while
referring to “Before starting operation” on page 48:
1 If the server is running, shut it down and switch off the power.
2 Unplug the power cable.
NOTE: Installing the CPU module while the power is on could
cause damage to the server or the CPU.
3 Remove the server panels.
See “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 54.
CAUTION: Do not extend or replace the CPU module imme-
diately after the power is switched off. This may cause burns
due to the heat generated by the CPU and its peripherals.
4 Remove two screws that fix the PCI bracket, and remove the
PCI bracket.
