The following illustration shows the location of the startup microprocessor and its VRM
on the system board. It also shows the microprocessor baffles and the VRM slots for
the other microprocessor sockets.
Notes:
1. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
2. Intel Xeon MP microprocessors are supported in microprocessor sockets 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
1. Review the information in "Safety" on page v, "Before you begin" on page 3, and
"Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 4.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cords, and dis-
connect all external cables from the SMP Expansion Module; then, open the cover
(see "Opening the cover" on page 7 for details).
3. Remove the SMP Expansion Module in which you plan to install the microproces-
sor; then, remove the module cover and determine the socket where the micropro-
cessor is to be installed. For details, see "Removing an SMP Expansion Module
and cover" on page 14.
Important: Before continuing, you should determine which type of microproces-
sors are installed in your server. The easiest way to do this is by the locations of
the installed microprocessors in the SMP module.
If the microprocessors are installed in any other sockets, such as 1 and 2
or 1, 2, and 3, then your server came with Intel Xeon MP microprocessors.
Note: If your server contains only one SMP Expansion Module, remove the SMP
baffle above it to gain access to the module. If your server contains two
