Microprocessor Kit Installation Your server comes with one microprocessor installed on the processor board. When you install one or more additional microprocessor kits, 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. This enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated manufacturing solutions, and other applications. Before you begin: Read "Safety Information" on page 226. Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update the server's basic input/output system (BIOS). The latest level of BIOS for your server is available through the World Wide Web and the IBM Bulletin Board System (BBS). Refer to the "Help and Legal Information" section of this Server Library for the appropriate World Wide Web addresses and bulletin-board telephone numbers. Obtain an SMP-capable operating system (optional). For a list of supported operating systems, see http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. Notes 1. The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your hardware. 2. To ensure proper server operation, when you install a new or additional microprocessor, use microprocessors with the same cache size as those of the currently installed microprocessor. 3. If you replace the microprocessor in your server with a microprocessor with a different speed; be sure to set the Microprocessor Core Frequency Selection jumper block correctly. (See "Processor Board Jumpers" on page 166 for more information.) 4. If you install additional microprocessors, be sure to set the Microprocessor Core Frequency Selection jumper block for the slowest speed microprocessor installed in your server. (See "Processor Board Jumpers" on page 166 for more information.) 5. To maintain signal quality and system reliability, either a microprocessor or the microprocessor terminator card must be installed in microprocessor socket 4. A microprocessor must be installed in microprocessor socket 1. Netfinity 7000-M10 - Type 8680 153
