Selecting the Correct Processor
Removal/Replacement Tool
Caution – The correct processor removal/replacement tool must be used to remove
and replace a processor; otherwise, the processor or the processor socket might be
damaged.
Selecting the correct processor removal/replacement tool is a two-step process. First
you determine the size of the processor that is being replaced, then you select the
removal/replacement tool that fits that size.
The processors supported by the Sun Server X4-2 come in two sizes. The processors
with 10 or fewer cores are smaller than the processors with 12 cores. You can
determined the size of the processor that you are going to remove and replace in
either of two ways:
■ Use Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) to display processor
information.
For instructions for using Oracle ILOM to display processor information, see the
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1 Documentation Library.
Or
■ Visually check the size of the processor installed in the server.
This requires that you remove the processor heatsink and open the processor
independent loading mechanism (ILM) assembly that holds the processor in the
socket. For instructions, see “Remove a Processor” on page 106. This is the same
procedure that you will use when you remove the processor.
If you choose to visually check the size of the processor, refer to the next two figures
to see how to distinguish the smaller processors from the larger processors. FIGURE:
Smaller Processor Installed in a Motherboard Processor Socket on page 103 shows a
smaller processor installed. Notice that the right and left edges of the processor are
within the boundaries of the processor alignment brackets.
