Upgrading the processor
Processor configuration guidelines
Each server node supports two LGA 1366 processor sockets supporting
dual-core or quad-core Intel Xeon processors. The supplied processors
may be upgraded or additional processors installed.
Observe the following guidelines when replacing or installing a
processor.
•
Processor 1 socket must always be populated. If no processor is
installed in this socket, the system will fail to boot.
•
Before removing a processor, make sure to back up all important
system files.
•
When installing a second processor, make sure it has same
stepping and frequency specifications as the default processor.
•
Handle the processor and the heat sink carefully. Damage to either
may prevent the system from functioning properly.
Replacing the processor
Warning! The processor becomes very hot when the system is on.
Allow it to cool off first before handling.
1
Remove the heatsink (see “Removing the heatsink” on page 40).
2
Release then lift the load lever.
3
Open the retention plate to expose the socket body.
