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.

Review "Electrostatic Discharge (on page

)" before installing hardware

options into the server.

Processor options

The server supports up to four processors. Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1
must be populated at all times or the server will not function properly.

Server PPMs provide the proper power to each processor. Each PPM must be
installed in the slot adjacent to its processor.
