4. Open the microprocessor release lever to the fully-open position.

5. Open the microprocessor bracket frame.

6. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor, follow all packaging

instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.

Installing a microprocessor

Important:

Dual-core and quad-core microprocessors are not interchangeable and

cannot be used in the same server. For example, if the server has a dual-core
microprocessor, you cannot install a quad-core microprocessor as the second
microprocessor. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine the type
and speed of the microprocessor that is currently installed in the server.
