Installing processors
Guidelines
•
To avoid damage to the processors or system board, only H3C-authorized personnel and
professional server engineers are allowed to install a processor.
•
For the server to operate correctly, make sure processor 1 is in position. For more information
about processor locations, see "System board components."
•
Make sure the processors are the same model if two processors are installed.
•
The pins in the processor socket are very fragile. Make sure a processor socket cover is
installed on an empty processor socket.
•
To avoid ESD damage, put on an ESD wrist strap before performing this task, and make sure
the wrist strap is reliably grounded.
