Guidelines
•
To avoid damage to a processor or the system board, only H3C authorized or professional
server engineers can install, replace, or remove a processor.
•
Make sure the processors on the server are the same model.
•
The pins in the processor sockets are very fragile and prone to damage. Install a protective
cover if a processor socket is empty.
•
For the server to operate correctly, make sure processor 1 is in position. For more information
about processor locations, see "System board components."
