7.
Align the processor with the socket keys.
CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
8.
Align the pin-1 indicator of the processor with the triangle on the socket .
CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
9.
Place the processor on the socket such that the slots on the processor align with the socket keys.
10.
Close the processor shield.
11.
Lower the
close first
socket-release lever near the lock icon
and push it under the tab to lock it.
12.
Similarly, lower the
open first
socket-release lever near the unlock icon
and push it under the tab
to lock it.
Next steps
NOTE: Ensure that you install the heat sink after you install the processor. The heat sink is necessary
to maintain proper thermal conditions.
1.
Install the heat sink.
2.
While booting, press F2 to enter System Setup and verify that the processor information matches the
new system configuration.
3.
Run the system diagnostics to verify that the new processor operates correctly.
Power supply units
Your system supports one of the following:
• Two 495 W, 750 W, or 1100 W AC power supply units (PSUs)
• Two 1100 W DC PSUs
• Two 750 W mixed mode PSUs
CAUTION: For AC PSUs, use only PSUs with the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label on the
back. Mixing PSUs from previous generations of systems can result in a PSU mismatch condition
or failure to turn on.
NOTE: Titanium PSU is nominally rated for 200 V AC to 240 V AC input only.
NOTE: When two identical PSUs are installed, power supply redundancy (1+1 – with redundancy or
2+0 – without redundancy) is configured in system BIOS. In redundant mode, power is supplied to
the system equally from both PSUs when Hot Spare is disabled. When Hot Spare is enabled, one of
the PSUs will be put into standby when system utilization is low in order to maximize efficiency.
NOTE: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same maximum output power.
Hot spare feature
Your system supports the hot spare feature that significantly reduces the power overhead associated with
power supply redundancy.
When the hot spare feature is enabled, one of the redundant PSUs is switched to the sleep state. The
active PSU supports 100 percent of the load, thus operating at higher efficiency. The PSU in the sleep
