Installing or Replacing the Processor
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that
is inappropriate for your server.
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.
