Installing a microprocessor and heat sink The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor and heat sink: • The server supports up to two ®Intel™Xeon dual-core or quad-core microprocessors. See http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserverfor a list of supported microprocessors. • Do not mix dual-core and quad-core microprocessors in the same server. • The upgrade of microprocessors are not supported on this server. For example, if the server came with a 2.0 GHz microprocessor, you cannot upgrade the microprocessor to a 2.3 GHz microprocessor, it is not supported. • The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on the system board. • When one microprocessor is installed, a heat sink filler is not required for microprocessor socket 2, however, the microprocessor 2 air baffle and the DIMM air baffle must be installed to provide proper system cooling.
