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.
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.
Due to space limitations, you must use the microprocessor tool that comes with the
microprocessor, when you install the microprocessor.
Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine whether you
have to update the server firmware.
You can use the Setup utility to determine the specific type of microprocessor in the
server.
Microprocessor sockets must always contain either a heat-sink blank or a microprocessor
and heat sink.
Populate the microprocessor sockets in the following order: 1, 4, 2, and 3. The following
illustration shows the locations of the microprocessor sockets on the microprocessor
board.

Populate the microprocessor sockets
NOTE
If your server has more than two microprocessors installed, you must install two QPI wrap cards in the
server.
To install a microprocessor, complete the following steps:
1. Read the
Tecal RH5485 Safety Information
.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all
external cables as necessary to replace the device.
