Processors

WARNING

If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on
the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be
careful when removing or installing server board components that are
located near processors.

CAUTIONS

Adding a second processor: If you are adding a second processor to your
system, you must verify that the second processor is identical to the first
processor.

Processor upgrades must be appropriate: You may damage the server if
you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your
server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power
considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability,
contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer
Support website:

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.
