(search for CG2100, click on Product Downloads, and then Ordering Guide) for a
list of compatible processors for the CG2100 server.
Use the instructions provided below to add or replace a processor instead of using the
instructions that came with the processor. Before you begin, remove the riser card
assembly and processor air duct from the chassis. For instructions, see “Removing the
Riser Card Assembly” and “Removing the Processor Air Duct”
in this chapter
.
Follow the instructions below to remove and then install a processor, referring to
Figure 25
through
Figure 32

ESD and Processor Handling Precautions
Be mindful of the following points when handling the processors and sockets:
•
Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing
the following:
— Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board.
— Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the
static charge while handling the processor.
— Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
— Use a ground strap attached to the front panel (with the bezel removed.)
•
When opening a socket, do not touch the gold socket wires.
•
When unpacking a processor, hold it only at the edges to avoid touching the gold
contacts.

Removing a Processor
1.
Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink with a #2 Phillips
2.
Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the
processor. (“B”)
3.
Lift the heat sink from the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat
sink again.
Note: Do not force the heat sink from the processor. Doing so could damage the
processor.
