Tip - To watch a video that shows how to remove and install a processor using the replacement tool, see CPU Replacement Overview Video.
Caution - Component damage. Handle processor socket pins with extreme care. Processor and socket pins are very fragile. A light touch can bend the processor socket pins and damage the board beyond repair. |
Before You Begin
Processor replacement tool model LGA2011 (color code: green) is required for this procedure.
Caution - Component damage. Use the correct processor replacement tool. Attempting to replace the processor using the incorrect tool could result in irreparable damage the processor or the motherboard. |
Leave the processor in the anti-static tray until it is ready to be installed.
Properly position the tool over the processor socket and lower it into place over the processor socket. Ensure that the tool and processor key corners are aligned. To properly position the tool over the processor socket, rotate the tool until the green triangle on the side of the tool is facing the front of the server and it is over the left side of the processor socket when viewing the server from the front.
Press the release lever on the tool to release the center button and engage the processor. An audible click indicates that the processor is engaged.
