v To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Attention: To avoid damage and to ensure proper server operation, review the following information before you install a microprocessor: v Make sure that the microprocessors are the same type, have the same cache size, and have the same clock speed. v Make sure that the microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies are identical. v See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of microprocessors that are supported by the server. v When installing additional microprocessors, populate the microprocessor connectors in numeric order, starting with connector 2. If you install the microprocessors in the wrong order, the server will not turn on. v Avoid touching the components and pins on the microprocessor. Ensure that the microprocessor is completely and correctly seated in the socket. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the microprocessor board or to the microprocessor. Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor: 1. Read "Safety information" on page 147 and "Installation guidelines" on page 29. 2. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server. 3. Remove the server cover and bezel (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 32). Chapter 4.

Attention:
To
avoid
damage
and
to
ensure
proper
server
operation,
review
the
following
information
before
you
install
a
microprocessor:
v
Make
sure
that
the
microprocessors
are
the
same
type,
have
the
same
cache
size,
and
have
the
same
clock
speed.
v
Make
sure
that
the
microprocessor
internal
and
external
clock
frequencies
are
identical.
v
See
the
ServerProven
list
at
for
a
list
of
microprocessors
that
are
supported
by
the
server.
v
When
installing
additional
microprocessors,
populate
the
microprocessor
connectors
in
numeric
order,
starting
with
connector
2.
If
you
install
the
microprocessors
in
the
wrong
order,
the
server
will
not
turn
on.
v
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
pins
on
the
microprocessor.
Ensure
that
the
microprocessor
is
completely
and
correctly
seated
in
the
socket.
Incomplete
insertion
might
cause
damage
to
the
microprocessor
board
or
to
the
microprocessor.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
microprocessor:
1.
Read
“Safety
information”
on
page
147
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
29.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
peripheral
devices.
Disconnect
all
power
cords;
then,
disconnect
all
external
signal
cables
from
the
server.
3.
Remove
the
server
cover
and
bezel
(see
“Removing
the
cover
and
bezel”
on
page
32).
