Installing a microprocessor

This section describes the type of microprocessor that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor, as well
as how to install a microprocessor in the server. Before you install a
microprocessor, read the following information:
v The server comes with one microprocessor installed. The following illustration
v If one microprocessor is installed, it is installed in microprocessor socket 1 (U1)
v If you install a second microprocessor in the server, the server operates as a
