Hardware options installation
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 90 )" before installing hardware options into the server.
Processor options
The server supports up to four processors. Observe the following processor installation guidelines:
• Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times so that the server functions properly.
• When installing PCIe boards, observe the PCIe board and processor population rules shown in the
following table.
PCIe slot Description Processor Memory cartridges
1 - FL/FH PCIe3* x16
(16,8,4,2,1)
Processor 4 Memory cartridges 7 and 8
2 - FL/FH PCIe3* x16
(16,8,4,2,1) Processor 4 Memory cartridges 7 and 8
3 - FL/FH PCIe3* x16
(16,8,4,2,1) Processor 3 Memory cartridges 5 and 6
4 - FL/FH PCIe3 x16 (8,4,2,1) Processor 3 Memory cartridges 5 and 6
5 - FL/FH PCIe3 x16 (8,4,2,1) Processor 3 Memory cartridges 5 and 6
6 - FL/FH
PCIe3*x16
(16,8,4,2,1)

FL/FH = full-length, full-height PCIe board
HL/FH = half-length, full-height PCIe board
All PCIe connectors are capable of supplying up to 75W.
*High power double-width PCI cards (up to 300W) are supported in these slots with auxiliary power cables.
