About this task
Attention: 
•  Read 
“Installation Guidelines” on page 45 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 46 to ensure that you 
work safely.
•  Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
•  Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static- 
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with 
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Notes: 
•  The heat sink, processor, and processor carrier for your system might be different from those shown in the 
illustrations.
•  See 
https://serverproven.lenovo.com for a list of processors supported for your server. All processors on 
the system board (system board assembly) must have the same speed, number of cores, and frequency.
•  Before you install a new processor or replacement processor, update your system firmware to the latest 
level. See 
“Update the firmware” on page 283.
