horizontally or vertically or rub the
CPU against the socket or against
any pins of the socket, which
may damage the CPU and/or the
socket.

retention tab. For a dual-CPU
system, repeat these steps to
install another CPU into the
CPU#2 socket (and into CPU#2,
#3 and #4 sockets for a quad-

Note: In single and dual-CPU confi gurations, memory must be installed in the DIMM
slots associated with the installed CPU(s). Memory is limited to a maximum of 256
for single CPU and 512 GB for dual CPU confi gurations.
