This server platform requires the installation of two types of Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs).
The VRMs necessary depend on the number of processors and the main board model installed.
Before installing or removing any processors, consult the board specific Technical Product

following generic VRM rules apply:
One processor installed: No VRM required
Two processors installed: No VRM required
Three processors installed
-
One processor cache VRM required
-
One core voltage processor VRM required
Four processors installed
-
One processor cache VRM is required. This was installed when you added the third
processor. You do not need to install another one.
-
Two-core voltage processor VRMs required. One was installed when you installed the third
processor. You need to install one more.
