Microprocessor Installation (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)
Microprocessor Installation
To install a microprocessor:
- Power-off the server and peripheral devices and
disconnect all external cables and power cords, then,
remove the top cover (see 'Cover (Top)').
Caution If the server has been operating, the heat sinks
on the installed microprocessors wilt be hot. Let the components cool for 10 minutes before
continuing with the procedures.
- Determine the processor beard on which you want to
install the microprocessor.
NOTE: The server comes with a microprocessor
preinstalled in the primary socket -6- of the
primary processor board. If you are installing a second microprocessor
in the server, install it in the primary socket on the secondary processor
board. If you are inslalling a third microprocessor, install it in the
secondary socket on the primary processor board. If you are
installing a fourth microprocessor, install it in the
secondary socket on the secondary processor board.
Refer to 'Processor or Memory Board' for the locations of the primary and
secondary processor boards.
- Remove the processor board on which you want to
install another microprocessor (see 'Processor or Memory Board').
NOTE:
- All microprocessors in the server beard must
have the same speed to ensure proper operation.
- While you are handling boards and microprocessors, place them on a grounded,
static-protective or conductive-foam surface.
- Lift the latch -4- on the empty microprocessor socket -5-
- To avoid damaging the microprocessor
during installation, make sure that the socket
latch is fully opened to the vertical position
before you insert the microprocessor.
- Do not touch or bend the exposed pins on a microprocessor.
- Do not force the pins into the socket. If you feel any resistance, remove the
microprocessor and check the orientation and alignment.
To install the microprocessor:
- Center the microprocessor -3- over the socket.
- Carefully insert the microprocessor into the
socket. Ensure that the pins on the
microprocessor align with the holes in the socket.
- Move the latch -4- downward until the
microprocessor is completely locked into the
socket. Make sure the latch is in the fully closed position.
- If the heat sink comes with grease, open the thermal
grease packet. Place the contents of the packet on
top of the micmprocessor. In most cases the heat sink comes with a pad.
- Spread the grease evenly over the surface of the
microprocessor. Ensure that the grease does not extend beyond the microprocessor edges.
- Discard the empty thermal grease packet.
- Install the heat sink and heat-sink clip:
- Align the heat sink -2- above the microprocessor.
- Clip one end of the heat-sink clip -1- over the
flange. Then, place the clip over the top of the heat sink and
press down until it is secure on both sides of the socket.
- If you are also installing or removing video memory or
memory module kits. do so now, otherwise, continue with this procedure.
- Reinstall the processor board and the board-support panel.
- When you install processor beards in the
server, be sure that they are completely and
correctly seated in the system-board connectors before you apply power.
(The latches on the boards will be horizontal.)
Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the
processor boards that you are installing.
- Make sure you orient the processor board correctly before pressing
it into its connector. Failure to do so could damage the processor board
or the connector on the system board.
