Installing the microprocessor 2 expansion board

Use this information to install the microprocessor 2 expansion board

Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.

If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.

To install the microprocessor 2 expansion board, complete the following steps.

1. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
   Attention

   Do not allow the server to fall over.
2. Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see Removing the left-side cover).
3. Remove the fan cage assembly (see Removing the fan cage assembly).
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the microprocessor 2 expansion board to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor 2 expansion board from the package.
5. Install the microprocessor 2 expansion board side bracket.
   1. Align the side bracket with the holes on the chassis and install the side bracket on the system board.

   2. Slide the side bracket toward the rear of the server.
   3. Fasten the thumbscrew on the side bracket.
6. Install the two guide pins on the system board.

    Note

    1. Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.
    2. Make sure that none of the server cables are caught under the microprocessor 2 expansion board.
12. Rotate the release lever toward the front of the server to secure the microprocessor 2 expansion board in place.

    Note

    Press the microprocessor 2 expansion board connector to make sure the connector is seated securely on the system board.
13. Fasten the two thumbscrews on the release lever.
14. Route the power cable to the microprocessor 2 expansion board power connector from the power paddle card.

    Note

    You might need to install the air baffle before connecting the power cable.

If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now.
