Installing a Microprocessor or

Terminator Card

WARNING: The power supplies in your PowerEdge system may produce

high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm. Only

trained service technicians are authorized to remove the computer cover

and access any of the components inside the computer. For more informa-

tion, see “Safety Instructions” in your system’s Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide.

This document updates information contained in your Dell PowerEdge system docu-

mentation. The guide-bracket assemblies, which hold the microprocessors or

terminator cards, have been redesigned. The following sections describe how to

remove or install a microprocessor or terminator card in a guide bracket assembly.

Removing a Microprocessor or Terminator

Card

Each microprocessor is contained within a single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge and

heat sink assembly. If your system has only one microprocessor, the remaining guide-

bracket assembly connectors must contain terminator cards.

To remove a microprocessor or a terminator card, perform the following steps.

CAUTION: The SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly can get extremely hot

during system operation. Be sure that the assembly has had sufficient time

to cool before you touch it.

CAUTION: When handling the SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly, take

care to avoid sharp edges on the heat sink.

WARNING: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the com-

puter and disconnect it from its AC power source. For more information, see

"Safety First—For You and Your Computer" in Chapter 7 in your system

Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
