Servicing Processors
This section describes how to service processors.
Processors are replaceable components that require you to power off the server before
servicing. For more information about replaceable components, see Illustrated Parts
Breakdown and Replaceable Components.
Caution:
Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing a
processor. You must disconnect the power cables from the system before
performing these procedures.
Caution:
These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid
damage, ensure that you follow electrostatic discharge safety measures and
antistatic practices. See Electrostatic Discharge Safety.
Note:
On single-processor systems, processor socket 1 (P1) is shipped without a heatsink
and with an External Cap. To protect the delicate processor socket pins, do not
remove the External Cap that was installed on the motherboard.
Processor Overview
Socket components in the processor assembly have a pin 1 indicator to aid in assembly.
