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.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade overheating, always populate processor sockets
with a processor and a heatsink or a heatsink blank.
CAUTION: The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the
heatsink is removed from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT: When installing the heatsink, align the guide pin on the processor retention
bracket with the alignment holes in the heatsink.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the
server blade does not power up.
