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.

1. Ensure the power cords are disconnected.

   See Disconnect Power Cords.

2. Determine your next step.
   • 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.
3. Open the latches on the processor module or processor filler module, and insert the module into the empty processor module slot in the server.
