Remove a Processor Module or Processor Filler Module
Processor modules and processor filler modules are cold-service components that
can be replaced only after you power off the system. Processor modules can be
replaced only by qualified service personnel. For the location of the modules, see
Processor Module Configuration.
| Caution -
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
|
-
Prepare the server for service.
See Preparing for Service.
-
Ensure that the server is powered off.
See Removing Power From the Server.
-
Disconnect the power cords.
See Disconnect Power Cords.
-
Locate the processor module in the server that you want to remove.
-
If you are replacing a faulty processor module, see Determine Which Processor Module Is Faulty to locate a faulty processor
module.
-
If you are adding a processor module, remove the processor filler
module in slot 1.
-
Press the two extraction levers in toward the server and pull the extraction
levers out to disengage the processor module or processor filler module from the
server.
-
Pull the processor module or processor filler module halfway out of the
server, and close the levers.
This action protects the levers from damage while the module is outside the
server.
-
The processor module is heavy. Use two hands to completely remove the
processor module (or processor filler module) and place the module on an
antistatic mat.
| Caution -
Do not touch the connectors at the rear of the module.
