b. Holding the new VRM by the upper corners, plug it firmly into the slot.
6. If necessary, remove the microprocessor baffle from the microprocessor socket.
Keep the microprocessor baffle for possible future use.
7. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the
package.
8. Install the microprocessor:
Important: When installing Intel Xeon DP microprocessors, you must install them
in the following order: socket 1 then socket 4. When installing Intel Xeon MP
microprocessors, you must install them in the following order: sockets 1,2,3, and
then 4.
a. Ensure that the microprocessor locking lever is in the open position to permit
plugging in the microprocessor.
b. Remove the protective tape from the microprocessor socket.
c. Align the triangle icon on the microprocessor with the triangle icon on the
socket and press the microprocessor gently into the socket.
Attention: Make sure that the microprocessor is aligned correctly before you
proceed. To avoid bending the pins on the microprocessor, do not use exces-
sive force when pressing it into the socket.
d. Close the locking lever to secure the microprocessor.
9. If you have installed an additional microprocessor:
a. Remove the heat sink from its package and detach the protective cover from
the bottom of the heat sink
Attention: Do not disturb or contaminate the heat-conducting grease on the
bottom of the new heat sink. Doing so damages its heat-conducting capability
and exposes the new microprocessor to overheating.
