4.7 Replacing the processor
V CAUTION!
Processors are modules which are extremely sensitive to electrostatic
discharges and therefore must always be handled with care. After a
processor has been removed from its protective sleeve or from its socket,
place it with its smooth side down on a non-conducting, antistatic
surface. Never push a processor over a surface.
Ê Open the server, and remove the air duct as described in section “Prepa-
ration” on page 17.
