v To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported
operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.
Attention:
To avoid damage and to ensure proper server operation, review the
following information before you install a microprocessor:
v Make sure that the microprocessors are the same type, have the same cache
size, and have the same clock speed.
v Make sure that the microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies are
identical.
v See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of
microprocessors that are supported by the server.
v When installing additional microprocessors, populate the microprocessor
connectors in numeric order, starting with connector 2. If you install the
microprocessors in the wrong order, the server will not turn on.
v Avoid touching the components and pins on the microprocessor. Ensure that the
microprocessor is completely and correctly seated in the socket. Incomplete
insertion might cause damage to the microprocessor board or to the
microprocessor.
Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
1. Read "Safety information" on page 147 and "Installation guidelines" on page
29.
2. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords;
then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server.
3. Remove the server cover and bezel (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on
page 32).
