Servicing Processors (FRU)
120 Oracle Server X6-2 Service Manual • June 2016
Servicing Processors (FRU)
Note -
Processors should be removed and replaced only by authorized Oracle Services
personnel.
Caution -
Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing a
processor. You must disconnect the power cables from the server before performing these
procedures.
Caution -
These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid
damage, ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in “Take Antistatic
Measures” on page 59 .
Note -
On single-processor systems, neither a heatsink nor a processor filler cover are installed
in the processor socket 1 (P1). To protect the delicate processor socket pins, the cover that
comes on the motherboard from manufacturing is left in place.
These procedure are provided in this section:

Selecting the Correct Processor Removal and
Replacement Tool
Caution - The correct color-coded processor removal and replacement tool must be used
to remove and replace a processor; otherwise, the processor or the processor socket might
be damaged. Additionally, do not use a tool that is designed for earlier generations of Intel
processors (CPUs). If you use an earlier generation tool, the processor will only be partially
held by the tool and it could fall from the tool, which could damage the processor socket.
