WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board:
• Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
• Always install the processor socket cover after removing the processor from the socket.
• Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: The server blade supports only two- or four-processor configurations. Always populate
processor sockets 1 and 2 with processors and heatsinks. To prevent overheating, always populate
processor sockets 3 and 4 with processors and heatsinks or processor socket covers and heatsink blanks.
CAUTION: The heatsink thermal interface media is not reusable and must be replaced if the heatsink is
removed from the processor after it has been installed.
IMPORTANT: Processor sockets 1 and 2 must always be populated. If either processor socket is empty, the
server blade does not power up.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 13 ).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 14 ).
