D. Processor Configurations
Single CPU Configuration

The PowerEdge R710 is designed such that a single processor placed in the CPU1 socket will function

normally, however PowerEdge R710 systems require a CPU blank in the CPU2 socket for thermal reasons.

The system will be held in reset if a single processor is placed in the CPU2 socket.
