SPARC T5-8 Server Service Manual

Servicing Processor Modules

The SPARC T5-8 server supports two configurations:

• Fully-populated — four processor modules

• Half-populated — two processor modules and two processor filler modules

Processor modules and processor filler modules are cold-service components that can be replaced only by qualified service personnel. You must remove all power from the system before you attempt to remove the processor modules. For the location of the processor modules, see Front Panel Components (Service).
