Tip - To watch a video that shows how to remove and install a processor using the replacement tool, see CPU Replacement Overview Video.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the triangle on the corner of the processor aligns with the triangle on the side of the processor removal/replacement tool [2].
An audible click indicates that the processor is locked in place.
Ensure that the notches on the sides of the processor align with the keys on the socket, and the green triangle on the side of the tool is aligned with the front left corner of the processor socket (when viewing from the front of the server).
![]() | Caution - Component damage. Do not press down on the processor. Irreparable damage to the processor or motherboard might occur from excessive downward pressure. Do not forcibly seat the processor into the socket. Excessive downward pressure might damage the socket pins. |
When properly aligned, the processor sits flat in the processor socket and has minimal side-to-side movement.
This action secures the processor in the socket.
