Preparing the server for options installation
Most internal installation procedures involve either the system board or any of the four memory boards.
Installing components onto these boards may require the following common preparatory tasks:
Power down the server (on page 27).
1.
Unplug all AC power cords from the server.
2.
Remove the access panel
3.
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor options
The server supports up to four processors. With two or more processors installed, the server supports boot
functions through the processor installed in processor socket 1.
Server PPMs provide the proper power to each processor. Each PPM must be installed in the slot adjacent
to its processor.
CAUTION: To prevent thermal instability and damage to the server, do not separate the processor from the
heatsink. The processor, heatsink, and retaining clip make up a single assembly.
