Install a Heatsink and Processor (FRU)

At the CPU socket, ensure that the CPU load plate and both load plate release

levers are in their fully open position.

To install a CPU, use the CPU replacement tool.

Note -

Ensure that you use CPU replacement tool, part number 7080240. The part number is

printed on the side of the tool. The tool is shipped with a new CPU.

The tool is used to remove and install the CPU in the socket. The top side of the replacement

tool has a button in the center and a tab on one side. Pressing down on the button opens the tool.

Pressing the tab releases the button and closes the tool.

Press down on the release button on top of the replacement tool.

This action opens the tool.
On one corner of the tool there is a label with a downward pointing triangle. Likewise,

the CPU is marked with a triangle on one of its corners. This is a key that aids in correctly
