Installing a microprocessor
Your server comes with one microprocessor installed in connector J2. This is the
startup (boot) microprocessor. A microprocessor installed in connector J3 is
microprocessor 2; a microprocessor installed in connector J4 is microprocessor 3; a
microprocessor installed in connector J5 is processor 4. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the highest numbered microprocessor is the one from
which the server will start. The lower numbered microprocessors are used as
application microprocessors.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see "Handling
static-sensitive devices" on page 8.
To install an additional microprocessor kit:
1.
Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 7 through "Handling
static-sensitive devices" on page 8.
2.
Turn off the server and remove the power cords.
3.
Remove the top cover.
4.
Remove the processor housing cover.
5.
Remove the terminator card from the connector.
6.
Install the microprocessor.
Note: Each microprocessor connector must contain either a terminator card or a
microprocessor.
7.
Install the voltage regulator module (VRM).
8.
Install the processor housing cover.
9.
