Servicing Processor Modules 59
Servicing Processor Modules
The SPARC T5-8 server supports two configurations:
■
Fully-populated — four processor modules
■
Half-populated — two processor modules and two processor filler modules
Processor modules and processor filler modules are cold-service components that can be
replaced only after you remove all power from the system. For the location of the processor
modules, see “Front Panel Components (Service)” on page 14.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail.
