Installing a microprocessor
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor:
v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
The server supports up to four Intel Xeon microprocessors. If you are installing
two or more microprocessors, they must be the same cache size and type, and
the same clock speed.
v The server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP,
certain operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing
load among the microprocessors. This enhances performance for database and
point-of-sale applications, integrated manufacturing solutions, and other
applications.
