a. Rotate the release lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and locked position until

it stops in the fully open position (approximately a 135° angle).

b. Rotate the microprocessor retainer on the microprocessor socket from its closed position until

it stops in the fully open position (approximately a 135° angle).

Step 10. If a dust cover is installed over the microprocessor socket, lift the dust cover from the socket and

store it in a safe place.

Step 11. Install the microprocessor in the microprocessor installation tool.

Attention:

If you are installing E7 series microprocessors in the blade server, you must use the

microprocessor installation tool with the text “X7500 + E7” on the bottom of the tool (see the
following illustration). Tools that do not have this text on the bottom will not work correctly with the
E7 series microprocessors.

a. Remove the static-protective bag and the foam surrounding the bag from the box.

b. Touch the static-protective bag that contains the new microprocessor to any

unpainted

surface on the BladeCenter chassis or any

unpainted

metal surface on any other grounded

rack component.

c. Carefully remove the microprocessor from the static-protective bag, touching only the edges

of the microprocessor.

d. If there is a plastic protective cover on the bottom of the microprocessor, carefully remove it.
