Installing a microprocessor
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor:
v
For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/us/
compat/.
v
The server supports Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz or higher microprocessors in each
socket. If you are installing two microprocessors, they must be the same cache
size and type, and the same clock speed.
v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine
whether you must update the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in the
server. To download the most current level of BIOS code for the server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
v
Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating
systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/.
v
You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine the specific
type of microprocessor in the server.
v
If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner) is
removed from the heat sink or fan sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the
bottom of the heat sink or fan sink or set down the heat sink or fan sink.
Note: Removing the heat sink or fan sink from the microprocessor destroys the
even distribution of the thermal grease and requires replacing the thermal
grease. Setting down the heat sink or fan sink on any surface when the
thermal-grease protective cover is removed will contaminate the thermal
grease. If the thermal grease becomes contaminated with particles, it must
be replaced.
For information about replacing contaminated thermal grease on the heat sink,
contact IBM Service. For support phone numbers, go to http://www.ibm.com/
planetwide/, or in the U.S. and Canada, call 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378).
Have the following information ready when you call:
– Machine type and model
– Serial number of the server
Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 11.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables. Remove the cover and air-baffle assembly.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices,
see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 12.
