Carefully
lift
the

on
a
static-protective
surface.

If
you
are
instructed
to
return

Installing
a
microprocessor
and
heat
sink
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
microprocessor
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
a
microprocessor
and
heat
sink:
v
The
server
supports
up
to
two
Intel
Xeon
™
dual-core
or
quad-core
microprocessors.
See
for
a
list
of
supported
microprocessors.
v
Do
not
mix
dual-core
and
quad-core
microprocessors
in
the
same
server.
v
The
upgrade
of
microprocessors
are
not
supported
on
this
server.
For
example,
if
the
server
came
with
a
2.0
GHz
microprocessor,
you
cannot
upgrade
the
microprocessor
to
a
2.3
GHz
microprocessor,
it
is
not
supported.
v
The
first
microprocessor
must
always
be
installed
in
microprocessor
socket
1
on
the
system
board.
v
When
one
microprocessor
is
installed,
a
heat
sink
filler
is
not
required
for
microprocessor
socket
2,
however,
the
microprocessor
2
air
baffle
and
the
DIMM
air
baffle
must
be
installed
to
provide
proper
system
cooling.
v
Do
not
remove
the
first
microprocessor
from
the
system
board
when
you
install
the
second
microprocessor.
v
When
you
install
the
second
microprocessor,
you
must
also
install
additional
memory.
v
To
ensure
proper
server
operation
when
you
install
an
additional
microprocessor,
use
microprocessors
that
have
the
same
QuickPath
Interconnect
(QPI)
link
speed,
integrated
memory
controller
frequency,
core
frequency,
power
segment,
internal
cache
size,
and
type.
v
Mixing
microprocessors
of
different
stepping
levels
within
the
same
server
model
is
supported.
v
When
mixing
microprocessors
with
different
stepping
levels
within
the
same
server
model,
you
do
not
have
to
install
the
microprocessor
with
lowest
stepping
level
and
features
in
microprocessor
socket
1.
