Installing a microprocessor and heat sink
Use this information to install a microprocessor and heat sink in the blade server.
Note: The optional microprocessors that IBM supports are limited by the capacity
and capability of the server. Any microprocessors that you install must have the
same specifications as the microprocessors that came with the blade server.
The following illustration shows how to install a microprocessor and heat sink in
