Installing or Replacing the Processor
CAUTION
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server
board if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your
server. Contact your local Acer dealer for a list of compatible
processor(s).
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.

accompanied your server chassis for instructions on removing the
