CAUTION:
To prevent possible compute module malfunction, do not mix processors of different speeds or cache
sizes. Refer to the label on the processor heatsink for a description of the processor.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible compute module overheating, always populate each processor socket with a
processor socket cover and a heatsink blank or a processor and a heatsink.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the compute module before beginning
any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
IMPORTANT:
Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the compute module
does not power up.
For any memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed will run at 2133MHz. For more
information, see the
HPE Synergy compute module User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
For more information about compute module memory, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website .
