Installing a microprocessor and heat sink

The following notes describe the types of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that
you must consider when you install a microprocessor:
• The server supports certain ®Intel™Xeon scalable multi-core microprocessors, which are designed
for the LGA 1366 socket. These microprocessors are 64-bit dual-core or quad-core microprocessors
with an integrated memory controller, quick-path interconnect, and shared last cache. See
http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver for a list of supported microprocessors.
• The server supports up to two microprocessors. If the server comes with one microprocessor, you
can install a second microprocessor.
• Both microprocessors must have the same QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link speed, integrated memory
controller frequency, core frequency, power segment, cache size, and type.
• Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you must update the
server firmware. To download the most current level of server firmware and many other code updates for
your server, complete the following steps:
1. Go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support.
2. Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select Servers and Storage from
the Select your product list.
3. Select Servers and Storage from the Brand list.
4. From Family list, select ThinkServer TD200x, and click Continue.
5. Click System TD200x to display the matrix of downloadable files for the server.
• (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems and
optional devices, see http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver.
• To order additional microprocessor optional devices, contact your Lenovo marketing representative
or authorized reseller.
• The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not have to set any
microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.
• If you have to replace a microprocessor, call for service.
• The heat-sink FRU is packaged with the thermal grease applied to the underside:
– If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner) is removed from the heat
sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink or set down the heat sink.
– You must replace the thermal grease if it becomes contaminated or has come in contact with another
object other than its paired microprocessor.
– The thermal grease is available as a separate FRU.
• Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board to install the second microprocessor.
