v

   

To

 

ensure

 

correct

 

server

 

operation

 

when

 

you

 

install

 

an

microprocessor,

 

use

 

microprocessors

 

that

 

have

 

the

 

same

 

cache

 

size

 

and

 

type,

 

and

 

the

 

same

 

clock

 

speed.

 

Microprocessor

 

internal

 

and

 

external

 

clock

 

frequencies

 

must

 

be

 

identical.

To

 

install

 

an

 

additional

 

microprocessor,

 

complete

 

the

 

following

 

steps:

 

1.

   

Read

 

the

 

safety

 

information

 

that

 

begins

 

on

2.

   

Turn

 

off

 

the

 

server

 

and

 

peripheral

 

devices,

 

and

 

disconnect

 

the

 

power

 

cords

 

and

 

all

 

external

 

cables.

 

 

Attention:

  

In

environment,

 

only

 

trained

supply.

 

See

 

the

 

documentation

 

that

 

comes

supply.

 

3.

   

Remove

 

the

 

server

 

cover.

 

 

Attention:

  

When

 

you

 

handle

 

static-sensitive

 

devices,

 

take

 

precautions

 

to
