Remove a Processor
134 Oracle Server X5-2L Service Manual • May 2015
Remove a Processor
Caution -
The correct color-coded processor removal and replacement tool must be used to
remove a processor; otherwise, the processor or the processor socket might be damaged. For
information on how to select the correct processor removal/replacement tool, see “Selecting the
Correct Processor Removal and Replacement Tool” on page 130 .
Caution -
Be careful not to touch the processor socket pins. The processor socket pins are
very fragile. A light touch can bend the processor socket pins beyond repair. Always use the
processor removal and replacement tool to remove and replace the processor.
1. Prepare the server for service.
a. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power
supplies.
See “Powering Down the Server” on page 55 .
b. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the
chassis.
See “Take Antistatic Measures” on page 64 .
c. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
See “Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position” on page 61 .
d. Remove the server top cover.
See “Remove the Server Top Cover” on page 64 .
e. Swivel the air baffle into the upright position to allow access to the
processors.
2. Identify the location of the faulty processor by pressing the Fault Remind button
on the motherboard I/O card.
Note - When the Fault Remind button is pressed, an LED located next to the Fault Remind
button lights green to indicate that there is sufficient voltage present in the fault remind circuit
to light any fault LEDs that were lit due to a failure. If this LED fails to light when you press
the Fault Remind button, it is likely that the capacitor powering the fault remind circuit has
lost its charge. This can happen if the Fault Remind button is pressed for a long time with fault
LEDs lit or if power has been removed from the server for more than 15 minutes.
