If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all
of the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation
process.
Processor Option
The server supports single- to quad-processor operation. With multiple
processors installed, the server supports boot functions through the processor
installed in processor socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system
automatically boots from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
This boot process continues sequentially through all available processors.
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 electric components,
properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure.
Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
