With SMP, application programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors. This enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated manufacturing solutions, and other applications. v The following illustration shows the microprocessor sockets and the voltage regulator module (VRM) slots on the system board. VRM 1 (J1) Microprocessor 1 (U16) Microprocessor 2 (U32) VRM 2 (J25) v If you install a second microprocessor in the server, microprocessor 1 is installed in microprocessor socket 1 (U16), and microprocessor 2 is installed in socket 2 (U32). You must also install the following items that come with the second microprocessor: - Voltage regulator module (VRM), which you plug into VRM connector J25 - Cooling fan, which you plug into fan position 4 (see the following illustration for the location to plug in fan 4) Fan 4 Chapter 2.
