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.

The server uses embedded PPMs as DC-to-DC converters to provide the proper power to each processor.

CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or cache

sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the processor.

CAUTION: Removal of the processor or heatsink renders the thermal layer between the processor and

heatsink useless. A new heatsink must be ordered and installed before reinstalling the processor.

IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
