If
you
plan
to
configure
the
server
for
RAID
operations
through
the
ServeRAID-8k
controller,
the
ServeRAID-8s
controller,
the
optional
ServeRAID-10is
controller,
or
a
combination
of
these
controllers,
you
must
configure
the
disk
arrays
before
you
install
the
operating
system.
See
the
ServeRAID
™
documentation
on
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Support
CD
for
additional
information
about
RAID
operation
and
complete
instructions
for
using
ServeRAID
Manager.
Installing
an
additional
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
See
the
System
x3500
Type
7977
User’s
Guide
on
the
IBM
System
x
Documentation
CD
for
details
about
how
to
install
a
microprocessor.
v
The
server
supports
Intel
Xeon
dual-core
or
quad-core
1.6
GHz
or
higher
microprocessors
in
each
socket.
If
you
are
installing
two
microprocessors,
they
must
be
the
same
cache
size
and
type,
and
the
same
clock
speed.
v
Some
models
support
dual-core
processors
and
quad-core
processors.
Do
not
mix
dual-core
processors
and
quad-core
processors
in
the
same
server.
Install
all
dual-core
or
all
quad-core
processors
in
the
server.
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
microprocessor
to
determine
whether
you
must
update
the
basic
input/output
system
(BIOS)
code
in
the
server.
To
download
the
most
current
level
of
BIOS
code
for
the
server,
go
to
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
v
Obtain
an
SMP-capable
operating
system.
For
a
list
of
supported
operating
systems,
see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
You
can
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
determine
the
specific
type
of
microprocessor
in
the
server.
To
install
a
microprocessor,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
vii
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
7.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices,
and
disconnect
the
power
cords
and
all
external
cables.
3.
Lay
the
server
on
its
side;
then,
remove
the
left-side
cover.
Attention:
When
you
handle
static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
details
about
handling
these
devices,
see
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
9.
4.
Remove
the
microprocessor
air
duct
from
the
fan
structure.
Squeeze
the
two
tabs
on
the
top
of
the
air
duct
together
and
lift
the
air
duct
out
of
the
server.
5.
Remove
the
microprocessor
baffle
and
the
protective
film
from
the
second
microprocessor
socket.
