Notes: 1. Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you must update the basic input/output system (BIOS) code. The most current level of BIOS code for the server is available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. 2. A new microprocessor comes in a kit with a VRM, a cooling fan, and a heat sink. 3. To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system (optional). For a list of supported operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/. Attention: To avoid damage and to help 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 the server supports. This section provides an overview of the procedure for installing an additional microprocessor. For detailed instructions, see the Option Installation Guide. Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 7. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. 3. Remove the server cover. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 8. 4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new microprocessor to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the microprocessor from the package. 5. If you are installing a microprocessor in the microprocessor 2 socket, first install a VRM in the microprocessor 2 VRM slot (J-25) 6. Install the microprocessor: a. Rotate the locking lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and locked position until it stops or clicks in the fully open position (approximately 135° angle).
