Servicing Processors (FRU)
The following section describes how to service processors. Processors are field-replaceable
units (FRUs). For more information about FRUs, see “Illustrated Parts Breakdown” on page 19
and “Field-Replaceable Units” on page 22.
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 - Processors must be removed and replaced only by authorized Oracle Service
personnel.
Caution - This procedure requires 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” on page 50.
Note - On single-processor systems, processor socket 1 (P1) is shipped without a heatsink and
processor filler cover. To protect the delicate processor socket pins, do not remove the processor
cover that was installed on the motherboard.
