v The server comes with one microprocessor installed. The following illustration
v If one microprocessor is installed, it is installed in microprocessor socket 1
v If you install a second microprocessor in the server, the server operates as a
simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM
is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the
retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining
