Replacing the processor
V
CAUTION!
You may only use processors of the same type on the system board.
Proceed as described in
section “Installing additional processors” on page 32
:
Ê
Follow the instructions in section
“Preparation: removing cover, fans and
memory cards” on page 32
.
Ê
Follow the instructions in section
“Removing the microprocessor tray” on
page 33
.
Ê
Follow the instructions in section
“Removing the baffles” on page 34
.
Ê
After having opened the heat sink retention clips of the processor to be
replaced (see
figure 16 on page 35
), remove its heat sink.
I
The thermal adhesive material securing the heat sink to the micropro-
cessor might have formed a strong bond. Gently rotate the heat sink
back and forth to help break this bond. When the heat sink moves
back and forth easily, the bond is broken.
Ê
Remove the old microprocessor from the microprocessor socket.
V
CAUTION!
If a microprocessor is removed without being replaced, you must
install a microprocessor baffle to prevent the server from overheating.
Ê
Follow the procedure described in
“Inserting a new microprocessor” on
page 36
.
I
If the heat sink of the old microprocessor is to be re-used for the new
processor, please refer to section
“Thermal grease” on page 39
.
Ê
Follow the instructions in section
“Reinstalling the microprocessor tray, fans
and memory cards” on page 37
.
