Populating a Server With CPU Modules
Note – This section describes configurations with 2, 4, 6, and 8 CPU modules. The
number of modules a system can actually support depends on the software and
firmware versions. To identify the configurations supported by your system, see the
Software Release Notes for the system software you have installed.

CPU Module Matching Requirements
The following CPU modules can be used together:
Sun Fire X4600 M2 4-DIMM CPU module
■
Sun Fire X4600 M2 8-DIMM CPU module
■
Except for the modules listed in this section, all CPU modules in a server must be
identical. This means that each module must have the same Sun part number. If two
modules are the same model but different part numbers, then their CPUs are
different; mixing CPUs in a single server is not supported.
When different CPU modules are in the same system, the CPUs must be identical.
This means that even though the part numbers for the CPU modules may be
different, the part numbers for the CPUs on the modules must be the same.
Caution – Only the CPU modules listed in this section can used together.
Population Procedures
The 8 CPU module slots are designated by letters A through H, as shown in
. Looking from the front of the server, the CPU module slots are lettered
