Upgrading Your System 4-15
Installing Processors
Note: Your system may have up to two processors on
the system board. All installed processors must be matched
for speed and cache size. If replacing a processor, the
replacement processor must match the speed and cache
size of all installed processors. If upgrading a processor, all
processors must be upgraded to match.
To install a processor:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed under General Information
and Static Precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Perform the steps in "Preparing Your System for Upgrade" described earlier
in this chapter.
3. Extend the server out from the rack.
4. Remove the top cover of the system chassis. See Top Cover Removal found
earlier in this chapter.
!
CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the system
with the top cover removed. Always replace the top cover
before powering on the system.
5. Lift up on the plastic processor air duct and remove it from the server. See
Figure 4-12.
