The server supports single-processor or dual-processor operation.
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 prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
CAUTION: To help prevent the processor pins from bending, do not reset, swap, or exchange
the processor.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server (on page 16 ).
2. Do one of the following:
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 17 ).
o Remove the server from the rack (on page 16 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 19 ).
4. Remove the processor air baffle (on page 20 ).
CAUTION: The pins on the processor socket are very fragile. Any damage to them may require
replacing the system board.
