In order to prevent damage to the processor or system board, please ensure
that only an authorized representative conducts replacements and installation
of the processor on this server.

multiprocessor configuration make sure to use a processor with the same
product number.

be charged.
Update the system ROM before installing the processor if a higher speed
processor is to be installed.

Pins on the motherboard are very fragile and easily damaged. To avoid
damaging the motherboard, do not touch the processor or processor socket
contact point.

Event Viewer, but it is no problem for operation.
