programs
can
distribute
the
processing
load
between
the
microprocessors.
This
enhances
performance
for
database
and
point-of-sale
applications,
integrated
manufacturing
solutions,
and
other
applications.
Microprocessor
2
is
installed
in
socket
2
(CPU2).
v
If
one
microprocessor
and
four
DIMMs
are
installed
in
the
server
and
you
add
a
second
microprocessor
without
adding
more
DIMMs,
move
the
pair
of
DIMMs
in
memory
slots
3
and
4
to
memory
slots
7
and
8.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
microprocessor
to
determine
whether
you
need
to
update
the
BIOS
code
in
the
server.
To
download
the
most
current
level
of
BIOS
code
for
your
server
go
to
http://www.ibm.com/support/
and
click
Downloads
and
drivers
.
v
(Optional)
Obtain
an
SMP-capable
operating
system.
For
a
list
of
supported
operating
systems,
see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
Make
sure
that
the
microprocessors
are
the
same
type,
have
the
same
cache
size,
and
have
the
same
clock
speed.
To
install
a
microprocessor,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v,
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
9.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices,
and
disconnect
the
power
cords
and
all
external
cables.
3.
Remove
the
server
cover
(see
“Removing
the
cover
and
bezel”
on
page
10);
then,
determine
the
socket
where
the
microprocessor
is
to
be
installed.
Attention:
v
Avoid
touching
the
components
and
gold-edge
connectors
on
the
microprocessor.
Make
sure
that
the
microprocessor
is
completely
and
correctly
seated
in
the
socket.
Incomplete
insertion
might
cause
damage
to
the
system
board
or
to
the
microprocessor.
v
When
you
handle
static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
information
about
handling
these
devices,
see
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
10.
4.
If
you
are
installing
a
microprocessor
in
the
microprocessor
2
socket,
lift
the
microprocessor-locking
lever
to
the
open
position.
