Notes:
1. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
2. Remember, Intel Xeon DP microprocessors are supported in microprocessor
sockets 1 and 4 only. Intel Xeon MP microprocessor are supported in
microprocessor sockets 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Complete the following steps to install a microprocessor:
1. Read the “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 204 and
“Safety information” on page 201.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cords, and
disconnect all external cables from the SMP Expansion Module; then, open the
cover (see “Opening the cover” on page 72 for details).
3. Remove the SMP Expansion Module in which you plan to install the
microprocessor; then, remove the module cover and determine the socket
where the microprocessor is to be installed. For details, see “Removing an
SMP Expansion Module and cover” on page 87.
Important: Before continuing, you should determine which type of
microprocessors are installed in the server. The easiest way to do this is by
the locations of the installed microprocessors in the SMP module. If the
microprocessors are installed only in sockets 1 and 4, the server came with
Intel Xeon DP microprocessors. If the microprocessors are installed in any
other sockets, such as 1 and 2 or 1, 2, and 3, then the server came with Intel
Xeon MP microprocessors.
Note: If the server contains only one SMP Expansion Module, remove the
SMP baffle above it to gain access to the module. If the server contains
two SMP Expansion Modules, remove the top module to gain access to
the bottom or lower SMP module.
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 204.
