• A minimum of four compute books must be installed in the 8-socket (x3950 X6) server.
• Each compute book must have a minimum of one microprocessor and one DIMM installed.
• The 4-socket (x3850 X6) server supports compute book configurations of two or four. These are the only
configurations supported. The following tables list the installation sequence for the supported compute
book configurations.
