Installing A Microprocessor - IBM Netfinity 3500 M20 Installation Manual

Installing a microprocessor

a. Remove the screw from the top rear corner of the drive cage.
b. Disconnect the cables from the rear of the drive that is preinstalled in the cage.
c. Carefully pull the drive cage out of the server.
4. Slide each drive into the drive cage and secure it with the four screws provided in
the package with the drive.
5. Reinstall the cage in the server and secure it with the screw you removed
previously.
6. Connect the SCSI and power cables to the rear of the drives.
7. Replace the support bracket.
8. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the server.
Your server comes with one microprocessor installed in the microprocessor connector
that is closest to the front of the server. This is the startup (boot) microprocessor. If
you install a microprocessor in the connector closer to the rear of the server, that one
becomes the startup processor and the microprocessor installed in the connector
closer to the front of the server becomes the application processor.
Attention: To avoid damage and ensure proper server operation when you install a
new or an additional microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache
size and type, and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal clock frequencies
and external clock frequencies must be identical. See the ServerProven list at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/netfinity for a list of microprocessors for use with your
server.
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
