Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

When one processor is installed, install fan blanks in slots 2 and 5. When two processors are installed, install
fans in these slots.
The server supports single processor and dual-processor operation.

should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
