CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the system board:
•
Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
•
Always install the processor socket cover after removing the processor from the socket.
•
Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor:
•
Handle the processor only by the edges.
•
Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION:
The server blade supports only two- or four-processor configurations. Always
populate processor sockets 1 and 2 with processors and heatsinks. To prevent overheating,
always populate processor sockets 3 and 4 with processors and heatsinks or processor socket
covers and heatsink blanks.
CAUTION:
The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the
heatsink is removed from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT:
Processor sockets 1 and 2 must always be populated. If either processor socket
is empty, the server blade does not power up.
To install a processor:
1.
Power down the server blade (on page
14
).
2.
Remove the server blade (on page
15
).
3.
Remove the access panel (on page
