SMP Expansion Module

Expansion Module and DIMMs.
SMP Expansion Module considerations:
•

•
•
•
For your server to operate properly, there must be a minimum of one SMP module
installed.
An SMP Expansion Module must contain at least one microprocessor and four
DIMMs.
If there is only one SMP Expansion Module installed in the server, an SMP baffle
must be installed in place of the upper SMP module to ensure proper cooling of
the server.
When the minimum number of microprocessors are present in the SMP
Expansion Module, a microprocessor baffle must be installed in microprocessor
socket 4 to ensure proper cooling within the server.
Before removing or installing SMP Expansion Modules, you must remove the
retention bracket or brackets and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield from
the rear of the server.
You must run the Configuration/Setup Utility whenever you remove or replace an
SMP Expansion Module or one of its associated options.
