10. If you do not intend to install a microprocessor on the socket, install the
socket cover that you removed in step 9 on page 269 on the microprocessor
socket.
Attention: The pins on the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may
require replacing the system board.
11. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
Replacing a microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to replace a microprocessor and heat sink.
About this task
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor
and heat sink:
v
Microprocessors are to be installed only by trained technicians.
Important:
Always use the microprocessor installation tool to install a
microprocessor. Failing to use the microprocessor installation tool may damage
the microprocessor sockets on the system board. Any damage to the
microprocessor sockets may require replacing the system board.
v
The server supports up to two Intel Xeon
™
E5-2600 v3 series multi-core
microprocessors, which are designed for the LGA 2011 socket. See
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/ for a
list of supported microprocessors.
v
Do not mix microprocessors with different cores in the same server.
v
The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on
the system board.
v
When one microprocessor is installed, the air baffle must be installed to provide
proper system cooling.
v
Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board when you install
the second microprocessor.
