Replacing the processor
The system board has a single AM2 CPU socket which supports one AMD® Opteron™ or Athlon™
processor with 3.0 GHz Hyper Transport Bus. The system connects with the nVIDIA MCP 55
through the Hyper Transport Bus. The server automatically detects the processor each time you
turn it on. Whenever you install a new processor, you should first install the most current version
of the BIOS. For instructions, see
“Updating the BIOS” on page 48 .
To replace a processor:

Warning
The processors and heatsink may be hot if the computer has been running. Also,
there may be sharp edges on the heatsink. Consider wearing protective gloves.
Caution
A heatsink must be installed on the processor. Installing a processor without a
heatsink could damage the processor.
Caution
The heatsink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the bottom. Be careful
not to damage this material when you remove the heat sink from the processor.
If removing the heatsink also pulls the processor out of the processor socket, the
processor could be damaged.
