3.4.4 Adding or Replacing a Processor
Note: Use the instructions below to add or replace a processor instead of using the
instructions that came with the processor.
Caution: The processor must be appropriate: You could damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server. Go to http://us.kontron.com/support/
for a list of compatible processors for the TIGW1U server.
3.4.4.1 ESD and Handling Processors
• When opening a socket, do not touch the gold socket wires.
• When unpacking a processor, hold it only at the edges to avoid touching the gold
contacts.
• Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing
the following:
— 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.
— Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
— Use a ground strap attached to the front panel (with the bezel removed.)
