Install a Processor Module or Processor Filler Module
Processor modules are cold-service components that can be replaced only by
qualified service personnel. For the location of the processor modules, see Front Panel Components.
| Caution -
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.

If you are installing a processor module after replacing or installing
DIMMs, go to Step 3.
-
If you are installing a new processor module to replace a faulty one,
install all of the DIMMs that you removed from the faulty processor
module into the replacement module. See Install a DIMM.
-
Open the latches on the processor module or processor filler module, and
insert the module into the empty processor module slot in the server.
Note -
A processor filler module can only be installed in slot 1.
-
Bring the levers together toward the center of the module and press the levers
firmly against the module to fully seat the module back into the server.
The levers should click into place when the module is fully seated in the
server.
-
Power on the server.
See Returning the Server to Operation.
-
Verify the processor module functionality.
See Verify a Processor Module.

If you are adding a second processor module to the server, return to Server Upgrade Process.
