To install an additional microprocessor and heat sink, complete the following steps:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static
electricity. For details about handling these devices, see
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 419.
Step 1. Read the safety information that begins on
“Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page
417
.
Step 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Step 3. Remove the cover (see
“Removing the cover” on page 424).
Step 4. Install the microprocessor:
a. Press down and out on the release lever on microprocessor socket and lift up the
microprocessor release lever until it stops in the fully open position.
b. Lift the hinged microprocessor bracket frame into an open position and remove the
microprocessor socket dust cover, tape, or label from the surface of the microprocessor
socket, if one is present. Store the socket dust cover in a safe place.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from
static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 419
.
c. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new microprocessor to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the package.
Attention:
• Do not touch the microprocessor contacts; handle the microprocessor by the edges only.
Contaminants on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause
connection failures between the contacts and the socket.
• Handle the microprocessor carefully. Dropping the microprocessor during installation or
removal can damage the contacts.
• Do not use excessive force when you press the microprocessor into the socket.
• Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned and positioned in the socket
before you try to close the lever.
d. If there is a plastic protective cover on the bottom of the microprocessor, carefully remove it.

e. Locate the microprocessor installation tool that comes with the new microprocessor.
f. Twist the handle of the installation tool counterclockwise so that it is in the open position.
