WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: The processor socket must be populated at all times. Failure to replace the
processor results in the system failing to boot and halting during the POST. This error
prevents the system from functioning properly.
