Replacing the Processor
Note: This manual assumes a processor is already installed and you are referring to these steps
to replace your processor. If you are setting up this system for the first time, see the Quick
Start User’s Guide included in the product box.
Caution: Use only processors validated to work with this server board. See “Server System
References” on page xi for a link to the list of compatible processor(s).
Caution: ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the processor by doing the following: (1) 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. (2) Avoid moving around
unnecessarily.
Removing the Heat Sink and Processor
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information” on page iii.
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
3. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Server
System Cover” on page 28.
4. Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink.
5. Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the
processor.
6. Lift the heat sink from the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat sink
again. Do not force the heat sink from the processor. Doing so could damage the
processor.
7. Lift the processor lever.
8. Raise the CPU load plate.
9. Remove the processor.
10. If installing a replacement processor, see “Installing the Processor” on page 36.
Otherwise, install the protective socket cover over the empty processor socket and
then reinstall the chassis cover.
