Processors and heat sinks may be hot if the computer has been
running. Before replacing a processor or heat sink, allow them to cool
for several minutes.
A heat sink must be installed on the processor. Installing a processor
without a heat sink could damage the processor.
You must have a processor in the Processor 1 socket, or your server
will not start.
If you are upgrading your server from one processor to two, you may
need to reconfigure your operating system so it can recognize the
additional processor. For instructions, see your operating system's
documentation.
If you install two processors onto the system board, the processors
must be the same speeds, revision, core voltage, and bus speed.
