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. However, if processor 1
fails, the system will attempt to boot from processor 2 and provide a processor failure message.
The server uses PPMs to provide power to each processor. The corresponding PPM must be installed for
each processor or the system cannot boot.
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 help avoid damage to the processor and system board, do not install the
processor without using the processor installation tool.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment,
multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If upgrading processor speed, update the system ROM before installing the
processor.
