Note
If you are replacing a processor with heat sink, see Processor and heat sink replacement (trained technician only).
Important

  • This task must be operated by trained technicians that are certified by Lenovo Service. Do not attempt to remove or install the part without proper training and qualification.

  • Contact Lenovo Professional Services team for help when installing the part for the first time.

  • Configurations with Processor Neptune® Core Module do not support rail kits with cable management arm (CMA).

  • When the server has a Processor Neptune® Core Module installed, you must apply for a shipping bracket FRU first if you need to install or remove the system board assembly or processor. However, when replacing the old Processor Neptune® Core Module with a new one, you do not need to apply for a shipping bracket FRU as the new module package contains it.
