beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Review "Electrostatic Discharge (on page 97)" before installing hardware options into the server.

Processor options

The server supports up to four processors. Observe the following processor installation guidelines:
•
Processor socket 1 and PPM 1 must be populated at all times so that the server functions properly.
•
Each PPM provides power to each processor. Each PPM must be installed in the slot adjacent to its
processor.
•
Processors must be installed in the following order: processor 1, processor 2, processor 3, and
processor 4.
•
When upgrading processor speed, update the system ROM before installing the processor.
•
Multiprocessor configurations must contain processors with the same part number.

Removing the processor memory module

The processors and memory are stored in a module at the front of the server. Access to the processor
memory module is provided through the front panel, eliminating the need to extend the server from the
rack to install new or replace existing processors or upgrade the memory.
