1. When two microprocessors are installed, both must have the same core voltage and core speed.
2. When only one microprocessor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU0. The other socket
must be kept empty.

into the CPU1 socket if you want to install two microprocessors.

power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
