IBM eServer xSeries 440 Installation Manual page 33

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 DP microprocessors are supported in microprocessor sockets 1 and 4
only. 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 safety information beginning on page v, "Before you begin" on page 5,
and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 6.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cords, and
disconnect all external cables from the SMP Expansion Module; then, open the
cover (see "Opening the cover" on page 9 for details).
3. Remove the SMP Expansion Module in which you plan to install the
microprocessor; then, remove the module cover and determine the socket where
the microprocessor is to be installed. For details, see "Removing an SMP
Expansion Module and cover" on page 16.
Important: Before continuing, you should determine which type of
microprocessors are installed in your server. The easiest way to do this is by the
locations of the installed microprocessors in the SMP Expansion Module. If the
microprocessors are installed only in sockets 1 and 4, your server came with Intel
Xeon DP microprocessors. 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
