Replacing a Processor
To install a processor:
1.
Ensure the ZIF socket for the processor you are installing is in the open position. To verify the
socket is open, insert the 2.5 mm hex tool into the ZIF socket and gently try to rotate the socket
180 degrees counter clockwise. If it doesn’t turn, the socket is open. To see the ZIF socket in
the unlocked position, see
Figure 53 (page 127)
.
NOTE:
If you have just removed a processor, the ZIF socket is unlocked.

2.
Carefully insert the processor module into the empty processor slot (processor slot 1 is shown)
on the server blade system board, then line up the guide pins on the system board to the
alignment holes on the processor to seat the processor.
3.
Slide the processor sequencer to the right and hold it there to uncover the ZIF socket (1).
4.
Tighten the ZIF socket shown circled in
Figure 54 (page 128)
with the 2.5-mm hex end of the
processor installation tool.
5.
Turn the socket 180 degrees clockwise to lock the processor onto the system board.
