v The voltage regulators for microprocessors 1 and 2 are integrated on the microprocessor board; the VRMs for microprocessors 3 and 4 come with the microprocessor options and must be installed on the microprocessor board. v When installing additional microprocessors, populate the microprocessor connectors in numeric order, starting with connector 2. v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you must update the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in the server. To download the most current level of BIOS code for your server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/xseries/index.html. v Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. v You can use the Configurations/Setup utility program to determine the specific type of microprocessor in the server. Install the microprocessors in the order shown in the following illustration. 1 2 4 3 To install a microprocessor, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords. Remove the cover and bezel (see "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 22). 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 22. 3. Remove the microprocessor tray: a. Remove the fans from the server. b. Remove the memory cards from the server. c. Lift the microprocessor-tray release latch ( 1 ). Chapter 2. Installing options 43
