obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems and other options, contact your Intel Support Representative. Attention: To ensure proper blade server operation when you install a second microprocessor, observe the following precautions: • Always install microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, the same clock speed, and identical internal and external clock frequencies (including system bus speed). • Ensure that the microprocessor with the lowest feature set is the startup (bootstrap) microprocessor installed in the Microprocessor 1 socket (location U66). Notes: 1. Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update the blade server BIOS code. Contact your Intel Support Representative for the latest level of BIOS code for your blade server. 2. The microprocessor sockets in this server contain built-in termination for the microprocessor bus; therefore, no terminator card is required if a second microprocessor is not installed in microprocessor socket 2. However, for proper airflow, this socket must contain a microprocessor heat-sink filler, sometimes called a microprocessor baffle. 3. The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not need to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches. The following illustration shows how to install the second microprocessor on the system board. Complete the following steps to install an additional microprocessor: 1. Review "Electrical Safety" on page vi and "Installation guidelines" on page 27. 2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the SBCE unit. See "Removing the blade server from the SBCE unit" on page 33 for instructions. 3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface. 4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 33 for instructions). 5. Remove the bezel assembly (see "Removing the blade server bezel assembly" on page 35 for instructions). 6. Locate the microprocessor socket on the system board. Installing options 39
