CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if
you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. See “
Additional
Information and Software ” for a link to the list of compatible processor(s).
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch
the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge
while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
