4. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you will install the DIMMs. (See Table 7 on page 80 for the correct DIMM installation sequence.) 5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package. 6. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install: a. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM keys align correctly with the connector on the system board. Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the clips gently. b. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM straight into the connector. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed positions. Note: If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM. 7. Close the cover on the air-baffle assembly. 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Installing the server bezel and left-side cover (tower model)" on page 100 or "Installing the server bezel and top cover (rack configuration)" on page 103. Installing an additional microprocessor Your server comes with one or two microprocessors installed on the system board. Your server supports up to two microprocessors. With two microprocessors, your 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. If your server comes with one microprocessor, you can install a second microprocessor. Before you begin: v Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine the required BIOS update. The latest level of BIOS code for your server is available through the World Wide Web (see "Recovering the BIOS code" on page 40). v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems and other options, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. 82 xSeries 235 Type 8671: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
