Maintaining the Server
Replacing CPUs and Heatsinks
This server has two CPUs. Each CPU supports eight memory risers connected by serial memory
interface (SMI). See
Caution
CPUs and their motherboard sockets are fragile and must be handled with care to avoid damaging pins
during installation. The CPUs must be installed with heatsinks and their thermal pads to ensure proper
cooling. Failure to install a CPU correctly might result in damage to the server.
