Installing or replacing a microprocessor
This section gives the procedure for installing
microprocessors. If you want to remove a microprocessor,
reverse the order of the following steps.
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page 176.
Ÿ
Thoroughly review the documentation that comes
with the microprocessor, so that you can
determine whether you need to update the server
BIOS. The “ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager
Information” section of this
Server Library
includes IBM Update Connector, which keeps the
BIOS and device drivers current. You can also
obtain the latest level of BIOS for the server
through the World Wide Web and the IBM
Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board
System (BBS). See the “Getting Help
Information” section of this
Server Library for the
appropriate World Wide Web addresses and
bulletin board telephone numbers.

Wide Web.
