VRM for second microprocessor (VRM 2)
To install an additional microprocessor kit:
1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords (see “Preparing to install options” on page 46); then, remove
the cover (see “Removing the left-side cover (tower model)” on page 48 or
“Removing the cover (rack model)” on page 49.)
2. Remove the terminator card
1
from the microprocessor connector
2
. Store
the terminator card in a safe place in the static-protective package that your
new microprocessor is shipped in; you will need to install it again if you ever
remove the microprocessor.
3. Install the microprocessor:
a. Touch the static-protective package containing the new microprocessor to
any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the
microprocessor from the package.
b. Center the microprocessor
8
over the microprocessor connector
2
and
carefully press the microprocessor into the connector.
4. Install the VRM
9
included in the microprocessor kit:
Attention: When installing or replacing a VRM, use only VRMs specified for
use with your server. Use of other VRMs might cause your server to overheat.
a. Center the VRM
9
over the VRM connector
3
. Make sure that the
VRM is oriented and aligned correctly.
b. Press the VRM into the connector.
Notes:
1) To remove a microprocessor, pull upward on the microprocessor
handle
7
.
2) If you remove the microprocessor later, remember to install the
terminator card in the appropriate microprocessor connector and to
remove the VRM for that microprocessor.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 85.
