Introduction

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- and dual-processor operation. With two 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.
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.
