Replacing the processor and heat sink
The processor controls memory, peripheral interfaces, and other system components.
The system can have more than one processor configuration.
The heat sink absorbs the heat generated by the processor, ad helps the processor
maintain its optimal temperature level.
The following table describes the heat sinks and supported processors.
Table 11 Processor wattage and heat sink dimensions
Heat sink type
Heat sink dimensions
1U heat sink
For GPU configuration
L x W x H: 128 mm x 82 mm x 25.5 mm
2U heat sink
For non-GPU configuration
L x W x H: 110 mm x 82 mm x 61 mm
Dual processor configuration
The system will function normally if there are two processors installed in the CPU 1
and 2 sockets. Processor and memory blanks associated with CPU 3 and 4 are not
required to be installed. For information on the expansion card slots supported on dual
processor, see
Expansion cards and expansion card risers
