Replacing Components Inside a CPU Module
Replacing Components Inside a CPU Module
Caution
When handling server components, handle them only by carrier edges and use an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist-strap or other grounding device to avoid damage.
This section describes how to install and replace CPUs and DIMMs inside a CPU module.
Caution
Never remove a CPU module without shutting down and removing power from the server.

CPU Configuration Rules
The CPUs in this server install to sockets inside one or two removable CPU modules. Each CPU module has
two CPU sockets.
• The system numbers the CPUs in CPU module 1 (the lower bay) as CPU 1 and CPU 2.
• The system numbers the CPUs in CPU module 2 (the upper bay) as CPU 3 and CPU 4.

• The server can operate with one or two CPU modules (two or four identical CPUs) installed.

Note
The CPUs in CPU module 1 must be identical with the CPUs in CPU module 2
(no mixing).
