CAUTION:
The heat sink and fan assembly and the microprocessor might be very hot. Turn off the server and
wait three to five minutes to let the server cool before removing the server cover.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another

To replace the microprocessor, do the following:

power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 87.
