DCAC 10. Open the memory card retention levers on the top of the memory card. 11. Insert the memory card into the memory card connector. 12. Press the memory card into the connector and close the small retention lever. 13. Wait two seconds and close the large retention lever. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 47. Microprocessor The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor: v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. v The server supports up to four Intel Xeon microprocessors. If you are installing two or more microprocessors, they must be the same cache size and type, and the same clock speed. v With more than one microprocessor, the 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. 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. 42 IBM System x3950 Type 8878 and System x3950 E Type 8879: User's Guide

Microprocessor
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
microprocessor
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
microprocessor:
v
For
a
list
of
supported
options
for
the
server,
see
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
The
server
supports
up
to
four
Intel
Xeon
microprocessors.
If
you
are
installing
two
or
more
microprocessors,
they
must
be
the
same
cache
size
and
type,
and
the
same
clock
speed.
v
With
more
than
one
microprocessor,
the
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.
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.
