Processor option
The server blade supports dual-processor operation. With two processors installed, the server blade
supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1. However, if processor 1
fails, the system automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
CAUTION: Removal of the processor or heatsink renders the thermal layer between the processor
and heatsink useless. A new heatsink must be ordered and installed before reinstalling the processor.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server blade does not function.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server blade overheating, always populate processor socket 2 with a
processor and a heatsink or a processor cover and a heatsink blank.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 15 ).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 16 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 16 ).
4. Remove the processor blank.
