Installing Hardware Options Processors ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers support up to two Intel Xeon processors. The Intel Xeon processor and Intel Xeon processor MP, introduce a new technology called Hyper-Threading which allows the processor to execute multiple threads simultaneously. Hyper-Threading technology makes a single processor look like two logical processors to operating systems that recognize Hyper-Threading technology. Although no software changes are needed to take advantage of Hyper-Threading, this feature can be disabled in the server's RBSU. For more information on Hyper-Threading, visit the Intel website. This site also provides information on Microsoft® OS licensing: http://developer.intel.com/technology/hyperthread/ Also, refer to the following website for HP Hyper-Threading technology information: www.compaq.com/products/servers/technology/hyper-threading.html CAUTION: To be sure that the system ROM recognizes the new processor you are installing, update the ROM if necessary. For the most recent ROMpaq, refer to the HP website: www.hp.com/servers/proliant/manage Failure to flash your ROM before installing processors can cause system failure. CAUTION: Processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 must always be populated. Failure to populate processor socket 1 and PPM slot 1 prevents the system from operating. IMPORTANT: Install a PPM for each processor in the system. When installing a new processor, you must also install a new PPM. IMPORTANT: If processors of differing speeds are installed, each processor matches the rated speed of the slower processor. IMPORTANT: ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers ship with gold-colored processor/heatsink assemblies. To be sure that you install a processor compatible with your server, only install processors with gold-colored heatsinks. 3-14 HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
