IBM LS42 - BladeCenter - 7902 Installation And User Manual page 40

Note: If you install an additional microprocessor, it must have the same type,
speed, and power specifications as the first microprocessor.
To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported
operating systems and other optional devices, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor:
v Always install microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, the
v Make sure that the microprocessor with the lowest feature set is the startup
v For a list of microprocessors that the blade server supports, see
v Before you install a new microprocessor, download and install the most current
v The microprocessors terminate themselves; therefore, no terminator card is
v The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for the blade server; therefore,
The following illustration shows how to install the second microprocessor in the
blade server. This procedure also applies to the MPE unit.
To install an additional microprocessor, complete the following steps:

However, for proper airflow, socket 2 must contain a microprocessor heat-sink
filler, sometimes called a microprocessor baffle.
you do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or
switches.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 17.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit" on page 19 for instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page
20 for instructions).
