v To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Attention: To avoid damage and to 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 are supported by the server. v When installing additional microprocessors, populate the microprocessor connectors in numeric order, starting with connector 2. If you install the microprocessors in the wrong order, the server will not turn on. v Avoid touching the components and pins on the microprocessor. Ensure that the microprocessor is completely and correctly seated in the socket. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the microprocessor board or to the microprocessor. Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor: 1. Read "Safety information" on page 147 and "Installation guidelines" on page 29. 2. Turn off the server and all peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server. 3. Remove the server cover and bezel (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 32). Chapter 4.
