Release the socket lever and the CPU fastener. 1. Unhook the socket lever, and pull it up carefully.2. Press the CPU fastener tab with an index finger to open the CPU fastener. Be careful not to touch the CPU socket pin, etc.
8
Install the CPU.1. Remove the cover attached to the CPU.
2. Check the marking (small triangle) on the CPU and on the CPU socket.
3. Hold the parts shown in ellipses on the CPU in the following figure, and align the markings and carefully insert the CPU.
• When opening the CPU fastener, be careful not to bend any pins in the CPU socket. Doing so may cause failures.
• Do not touch the CPU electrode. Doing so may cause a failure.
• When installing the CPU in the socket, be careful not to bend any pins in the CPU socket.

13
Turn on the Server Blade and check the BIOS Setup Utility settings.Start the BIOS Setup Utility and select the [Server] menu – the [CPU Status] submenu to check that [CPUn Status] (n: slot number) is set to [Enabled]. If the CPU is set to [Disabled], change the setting to [Enabled]. For more details, refer to "8.2.8 Server Menu" (pg.216).

How to remove a CPU
To remove a CPU, simply reverse the installation procedures.
7.3.4 Defective CPU Disconnection Function
This server is equipped with the defective CPU disconnection function.
This function disconnects the CPU judged to be defective (abnormal) during Power On Self Test (POST) to start the server. On two CPU servers, if one CPU is defective, the other CPU starts up the server.
The failed CPU can be checked using the information displayed during POST or from [CPUn Status] (n: slot number) in the [CPU Status] submenu of the [Server] menu in the BIOS Setup Utility ("8.2.10 CPU Status Submenu" (pg.220)).
Removing the defective CPU
1
Turn on the server and check the location of the defective CPU by the message displayed during POST.2
Replace the defective CPU with a new CPU according to "7.3.3 How to Install a CPU" (pg.178).3
Turn on the server and start the BIOS Setup Utility. "8.2.1 Starting and Exiting the BIOS Setup Utility" (pg.205)4
Select [CPU Status] on the Server menu and check that the item corresponding to the replaced CPU is set to [Enabled].If it is set to [Failed] or [Disabled], change the status to [Enabled].
"8.2.10 CPU Status Submenu" (pg.220)
If the setting is not changed to [Enabled], the server will start with the new CPU still marked as defective and always disconnected. By changing the setting to [Enabled], the defective CPU status is cancelled and the new CPU can be used at the next start of the server.
7.4 Installing Memory Modules
Additional memory will help to increase the amount of data to read at a time and improve the server processing capability.
• When installing or removing the memory modules, make sure to remove the Server Blade from the Chassis. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
For details on how to remove the Server Blade from the Chassis, refer to "BX600 S3 Blade Server System Unit Hardware Guide".
• Do not install unauthorized third party memory modules. Doing so may cause electric shock, a fire, or failures.
• Wait for a sufficient period of time after server shutdown before installing or removing memory. Failure to do so may cause burns.
• When installing or removing memory modules, make sure to remove the screws on the specified points only. There is chance of injury if screws other than those on the specified points are removed.
It may also damage the server.
• Touch only the specified part of the printed circuit board. Failure to do so may cause injury. It may also damage the server.
• The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed. They can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the Chassis to discharge static electricity.
• Do not insert and remove memory modules repeatedly. Doing so may cause failures.
• Hold the edge of the memory module as shown below. Do not touch the part with gold wire (terminal) or memory chip.
Memory chip Memory module Do not touch this part.
7.4.1 Location of Memory Module Installation
Install memory modules to the memory slots in the Server Blade.
Each memory bank consists of slot 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 on this Server Blade.
To add more memory, install memory modules in pairs, each having the same capacity, to the
corresponding slots in the sequence of Bank 1, Bank 2, Bank 3, and Bank 4, in ascending order of their capacity.
Memory bank 1 has memory modules as the standard.
7.4.2 Available Memory Modules and Notes
Available memory modules
Memory of this Server Blade consists of two the Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMM) in pairs and memory modules are extended in pairs.
The following memory module types can be used on this Server Blade.
Packaged items of optional memory
Before installing memory modules, refer to "Appendix B.2 Memory Specifications" (pg.265) to check
