7. Install a VRM in the corresponding VRM connector (J1):
a. Center the VRM over the connector. Make sure that the VRM is oriented
and aligned correctly.
b. Carefully but firmly push down the VRM clip handle to seat the VRM in the
connector.
c. Make sure that the VRM clip locks on the VRM connector at both sides.
CAUTION:
You must lift up the microprocessor-release lever before inserting the
microprocessor into the socket. Inserting the microprocessor into the
socket without lifting up the microprocessor-release lever can damage
the microprocessor and system board.
8. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to
any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the
microprocessor from the package.
b. Rotate the locking lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and
locked position until it stops or clicks in the fully open position
(approximately 135° angle), as shown. Then, see the documentation
provided with the microprocessor option for complete installation
instructions.
Attention: You must ensure that the locking lever on the microprocessor
socket is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in
the socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the
microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and system board.
