Installing a processor The server can use dual or quad-core processors. Dual-core processors contain two cores that function as separate processors. Dual-core processors double the processing power of the processor while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor. Quad-core processors contain four cores that function as separate processors. Quad-core processors quadruple the processing power of the processor while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor. The server holds one or two dual or quad-core processors that provide the following configuration options: Dual core processors: • 1P/2C (one processor / 2 cores) • 2P/2C Quad core processors: • 1P/4C • 2P/8C The server has one processor installed in slot 0. Install the additional processor in slot Module 1. CAUTION: Intel quad-core processors cannot be intermixed with similar dual-core processors. Processor speed and cache size must be identical for all processors in a server. To ensure compatibility whether upgrading, replacing, or adding an additional processor, use processors with identical part numbers. Failure to observe this caution results in performance degradation or server failure. CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server. Processor Load Order The server holds up to two dual or quad-core processors on the processor board. The slots on the system board are labeled CPU 0 and CPU 1. If the server has only one processor, it is installed in slot 0. Install the second processor in slot 1. Table 2-3 lists the processor load sequence. Figure 1-2 "System board components " shows the processor socket numbers. Installing Additional Components 37

Installing a processor
The server can use dual or quad-core processors. Dual-core processors contain two cores that
function as separate processors. Dual-core processors double the processing power of the processor
while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor. Quad-core processors contain
four cores that function as separate processors. Quad-core processors quadruple the processing
power of the processor while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor.
The server holds one or two dual or quad-core processors that provide the following configuration
options:
Dual core processors:
•
1P/2C (one processor / 2 cores)
•
2P/2C
Quad core processors:
•
1P/4C
•
2P/8C
The server has one processor installed in slot 0. Install the additional processor in slot Module
1.
CAUTION:
Intel quad-core processors cannot be intermixed with similar dual-core processors.
Processor speed and cache size must be identical for all processors in a server. To ensure
compatibility whether upgrading, replacing, or adding an additional processor, use processors
with identical part numbers.
Failure to observe this caution results in performance degradation or server failure.
CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Processor Load Order
The server holds up to two dual or quad-core processors on the processor board. The slots on
the system board are labeled CPU 0 and CPU 1. If the server has only one processor, it is installed
in slot 0. Install the second processor in slot 1.
Table 2-3
lists the processor load sequence.
Figure 1-2 “System board components ”
shows the
processor socket numbers.
