Hardware options installation 33
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or
cache sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the processor.
CAUTION: Removal of the processor or heatsink renders the thermal layer between the
processor and heatsink useless. A new heatsink must be ordered and installed before
reinstalling the processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
IMPORTANT: If upgrading processor speed, update the system ROM before installing the
processor.
1. Power down the server (on page 18 ).
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page 19 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 20 ).
4. Remove the air baffle (" Remove and install the 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.
5. Remove the processor socket protective cover. Retain the cover for future use.
CAUTION: Failure to completely open the processor locking lever prevents the processor from
seating during installation, leading to hardware damage.
