Replacing a Processor
To install a processor on the extender board, follow these steps. If you have already removed
the processor extender board from the server, proceed to step Step 6.
CAUTION: Ensure that the cache size is identical for all processors. Failure to observe this
caution will result in server failure.
Ensure that all processors are rated for use at the same speed. Failure to observe this caution
results in performance degradation.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety
precautions can result in damage to the server.
