that function as separate processors. Quad-core processors quadruple the processing power of the
processor while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor.
The server holds one or two dual or quad-core processors that provide the following configuration
options:
Dual-core processors:
• 1P/2C (one processor/2 cores)
• 2P/4C
Quad-core processors:
• 1P/4C
• 2P/8C
The first processor must be installed in socket 0, and the second processor in socket 1.
CAUTION:
Intel quad-core processors cannot be intermixed with similar dual-core processors. Processor speed
and cache size must be identical for all processors in a server. To ensure compatibility, whether
upgrading, replacing, or adding an additional processor, use processors with identical part numbers.
Failure to observe this caution results in performance degradation or server failure.
CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety
precautions can result in damage to the server.

Processor load order

The server holds up to two dual-core or quad-core processors on the system board. The sockets on the
system board are labeled Module 0 and Module 1. If the server has only one processor, it is installed in
socket 0. Install the second processor in socket 1.
See Processor load order for the processor socket numbers.
