Hardware options installation
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options
and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
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 electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
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 attempts to boot from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
The server uses PPMs to provide power to each processor. The corresponding PPM must be installed for
each processor or the system cannot boot.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the system board:
• Do not touch the processor socket contacts.
• Always install the processor socket cover after removing the processor from the socket.
• Do not tilt or slide the processor when lowering the processor into the socket.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor:
• Handle the processor only by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom of the processor, especially the contact area.
IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the
server does not power up.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server (on page 20 ).
2. Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed (" Open or remove the tower bezel " on page 21 ).
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 22 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 25 ).
