See the documentation that comes with your adapter for instructions for setting jumpers or switches and for cabling. Note: Route adapter cables before you install the adapter. 5. Install the adapter as shown in the illustration. Attention: When you install an adapter, avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the connector. Incorrectly seated adapters might cause damage to the I/O board or to the adapter. 6. Connect any required cables to the adapter. 7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 26. Installing a microprocessor The following notes describe information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor in the server: v The server comes with a minimum of one microprocessor installed on the microprocessor board in the microprocessor tray and supports up to four microprocessors. With more than one microprocessor, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing load among the microprocessors. This enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated manufacturing solutions, and other applications. The Chapter 2. Installing options 17
