Hardware options installation
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
The server supports single- and dual-processor operation. With two processors installed, the server supports
boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system
attempts to boot from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
The server uses embedded PPMs to provide power to each processor.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the
server halts during POST.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 22 ).
2. Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed (" Open or remove the tower bezel " on page 22 ).
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 25 ).
4. Remove fan 5 (on page 26 ).
5. If installed, remove the BBWC battery pack or the FBWC capacitor pack (on page 27 ).
6. Remove the air baffle (on page 28 ).
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking lever prevents the processor from
seating during installation, leading to hardware damage.
