Installing
an
additional
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,
go
to
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us.
v
See
the
Option
Installation
Guide
on
the
IBM
xSeries
Documentation
CD
for
details
on
how
to
install
a
microprocessor.
v
The
server
supports
Intel
Xeon
2.8
GHz
or
higher
microprocessors
in
each
socket.
If
you
are
installing
two
microprocessors,
they
must
be
the
same
cache
size
and
type,
and
the
same
clock
speed.
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
the
server,
go
to
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
v
Obtain
an
SMP-capable
operating
system.
For
a
list
of
supported
operating
systems,
go
to
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us.
v
You
can
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
determine
the
specific
type
of
microprocessor
in
the
server.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
microprocessor:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
vii,
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
7.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices,
and
disconnect
the
power
cords
and
all
external
cables.
3.
Lay
the
server
on
its
side;
then,
remove
the
cover
and
air-baffle
assembly.
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
8.
4.
Remove
the
microprocessor
baffle
and
the
protective
film
from
the
second
microprocessor
socket.
