To install an additional microprocessor:
1.
Review the information in“Before you begin” on page 47.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then remove the cover (see “Removing the cover, door, and
bezel” on page 48 for details).
3. Remove the terminator card from the microprocessor connector. Store the
terminator card in a safe place in the static-protective package that your new
microprocessor is shipped in; you will need to install it again if you ever
remove the microprocessor.
4. 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.
Center the microprocessor over the microprocessor connector and carefully
press the microprocessor into the connector.
Note: To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor handle.
5. Install the voltage regulator module (VRM) included in the microprocessor kit.
Attention: When installing or replacing a VRM, use only a VRM specified for
use with the xSeries 230 server. Use of other VRMs might cause
your server to overheat.
a. Center the VRM over the VRM connector. Make sure that the
VRM is oriented and aligned correctly.
b.
Press the VRM into the connector.
Note: If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the
terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector and to
remove the VRM.
