More information on your PRIMERGY BX620 S6 can be found in the following documents: – "PRIMERGY BX620 S6 Server Options Guide"...
Extensions and upgrades Extensions and upgrades Second processor If only one processor is installed in your server blade, you can upgrade it to include a second one. You may only use processors of the same type in the server blade. The second processor must have the same clock frequency as the first.
Page 12
Extensions and upgrades Storage modules can be installed/replaced via the front of the server blade without having to remove the housing cover. However, they cannot be replaced while the system is running (non-hot-plug) - the server blade must be switched off.
