Replacing a processor
WARNING!
To avoid bodily injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and its internal modules to cool before
touching them.
Guidelines
•
You can install two or four processors. If you install only two processors, make sure processors
1 and 2 are present.
•
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."
•
Make sure a protective cover is installed over each empty processor socket.
•
Different processors might have different heatsinks, but the processor replacement procedure
is the same.
•
You must paste the barcode label shipped with the processor to the side of the heatsink to cover
the original barcode label on the heatsink. This ensures that H3C will provide the warranty
service for the processor.
Prerequisites
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
•
Wear antistatic clothing.
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Do not wear any conductive objects, such as jewelry or watches.
When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
