Installing an additional microprocessor
Your server comes with one or two microprocessors installed on the system board.
Your server supports two microprocessors. With two microprocessors, your server
can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain
operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing load
among the microprocessors. If your server comes with one microprocessor, you can
install a second microprocessor.
Attention:
microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, and
the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies must
be identical. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program in your server to
determine the specific type of microprocessor on your system board.
Important: A boot processor must always be installed in socket U13 of the system
