Page: 41 / 88

To install an additional microprocessor, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 21.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See “Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit” on page 22 for instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see “Opening the blade server cover” on page
23 for instructions).
5. Remove the bezel assembly (see “Removing the blade server bezel assembly”
on page 27 for instructions).
6. Locate the microprocessor socket on the system board.
7. Remove the four screws that secure the heat-sink filler and then remove the
filler from the microprocessor socket.
8. Install the microprocessor:
a. If present, remove the protective label, shown below, from the surface of
the microprocessor socket.

ATTENTION!
b. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new microprocessor
to any unpainted metal surface on the blade server or any unpainted metal
surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack you are
installing the microprocessor in for at least 2 seconds; then, remove the
microprocessor from the package.
Attention: Do not use any tools or sharp objects to lift the locking lever
on the microprocessor socket. Doing so might result in permanent damage
to the system board.
c. 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 a 90° angle), as shown.
Attention: You must make sure 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, or system board.
