Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor option
The server supports single- and dual-processor operation. With two processors installed, the server
supports boot functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1.
The server uses embedded PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to provide the proper power to each processor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel should attempt
to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board:
•
Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
•
Always install the processor socket cover after removing the processor from the socket.
•
Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
•
Handle the processor only by the edges.
•
Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
