Intel Processor Installation Instructions
First Edition (March 2005)
Part Number 381735-001
Locating the CPU Socket
The server’s dual mPGA604 (604-pin) sockets support Intel Xeon
800 MHz FSB processors. The location of the two CPU sockets
(U6 and U18) is shown in the figure below.
Installation Guidelines
When installing a processor, observe the following important
guidelines:
•
Processor socket 0 (U6) must always be populated. If no
processor is installed in this socket, the system will fail to boot
and halt during POST. This error prevents the system from
functioning properly.
•
Handle the processor and heat sink with care. Damage to either
may affect processor performance.
•
The pins beneath the processor are very fragile. Do not bend or
damage them.
•
Always use a new heat sink when replacing processors. Failure
to use new components can cause damage to the processor.
•
Be sure that the server has the most recent ROM version.
Failure to flash the ROM before installing processors can cause
system failure.
