Installing a processor
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
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 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 socket 1 must be populated at all
times or the server blade does not function.
To install a processor:
1. Update the system ROM.

5. Remove the heatsink blank. Retain the heatsink blank for
future use.
CAUTION: The pins on the processor socket are very
fragile. Any damage to them may require replacing the
system board.
6. Remove the processor socket protective cover. Retain the cover
for future use.
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor
retaining latch prevents the processor from seating during
installation, leading to hardware damage.
7. Open the processor retaining latch and the processor socket
retaining bracket.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the processor remains inside the
processor installation tool.
8. If the processor has separated from the installation tool,
carefully re-insert the processor in the tool.
9. Align the processor installation tool with the socket and install
the processor.
CAUTION: The processor is designed to fit one way into
the socket. Use the alignment guides on the processor and
socket to properly align the processor with the socket.

10. Press down firmly until the processor installation tool clicks and
separates from the processor, and then remove the processor
installation tool.
11. Close the processor retaining bracket and the processor
retaining latch.
12. Remove the thermal interface protective cover from
the heatsink.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board,
processor socket, and screws, do not overtighten the
heatsink screws. Use the wrench supplied with the system
to reduce the possibility of overtightening the screws.
13. Install the heatsink. Insert both screws, and then alternate
tightening until the heatsink is seated properly.
14. Install the access panel.
15. Install the server blade.
The installation is complete.
