bottom of the tool (see the following illustration). Tools that do not have thistext on the bottom will not work correctly with the E7 series microprocessors.X7500+E710. Install the socket covers that you removed from the microprocessor sockets onthe new system board and place them on the microprocessor sockets of theold system board, if you have not done so.11. Reconnect the cables that you disconnected earlier to the system board.12. Reinstall the microprocessor air baffle (see “Replacing the microprocessor airbaffle” on page 269).13. Reinstall the PCI riser-card assemblies with the adapters, if any were installed(see “Replacing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 337 and “Replacing anadapter” on page 275).14. Reinstall the memory tray, if you removed it (see “Replacing the memorytray” on page 267).15. Reinstall DIMM air baffle, if you removed it (see “Replacing the DIMM airbaffle” on page 271).16. Reconnect the remote RAID battery cables to the adapters and install theRAID battery trays in memory tray or DIMM air baffle, if you removed itearlier.17. Install the QPI fillers or QPI cables that you removed from the old systemboard onto the QPI ports on the new system board, if you removed themearlier.Attention:v When you handle the QPI cables, take precautions to avoid damaging thehigh density interface. Dropping and incorrectly connecting the QPI cablescan damage the high density interface. Store the protective covers that comeon the end of the QPI cables for reuse when you perform maintenance onthe server or when you remove the cables for some reason.v If the server is connected to a MAX5 memory expansion modules (one 3Uconfigurations), see the documentation for the QPI cabling option kit forother important cabling information when disconnecting or connecting QPIcables.18.
