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

).

2.

Remove the server blade (on page
