3. Carefully lay the NovaScale Blade Server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the NovaScale Blade Server cover (see “Opening the NovaScale Blade Server cover” on
page 20 for instructions).
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you
will install the DIMMs.
6. Touch the non-conductive package that contains the DIMM option to any unpainted metal
surface on the NovaScale Blade Chassis unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component in the rack you are installing the DIMM option in for at least 2
seconds. Then remove the DIMM from the package.
7. To install the DIMMs, repeat the following steps for each DIMM that you install:
a. Turn the DIMM so that the DIMM key aligns correctly with the connector on the system
board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors,
handle the clips gently.
b. Insert the DIMM by pressing the DIMM along the guides into the connector. Make sure the
retaining clips snap into the closed positions.
Important: If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not
been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM.
Reinsert the DIMM.
8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 42.
Installing an additional processor
The NovaScale Blade Server comes with one or two processors installed on the system board. The
NovaScale Blade Server supports two processors. With two processors, your NovaScale Blade
Server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating
systems and application programs can distribute the processing load between the processors. If your
NovaScale Blade Server comes with one processor, you can install a second processor.
Notes:
1. You can not remove the single processor and replace it with a different type of processor of
greater or lessor speed.
2. If you install a second processor, it must be of the same processor type and speed as the first
processor.
To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system.
The following notes describe the type of processor that the server supports and other information
that you must consider when installing a processor. To ensure proper NovaScale Blade Server
operation when you install a second processor, observe the following precautions.
• Always install processors that have the same cache size and type, the same clock speed, and
identical internal and external clock frequencies (including system bus speed).
• Make sure that the processor with the lowest feature set is the startup (bootstrap) processor,
installed in the processor 1 socket (U66).
