This server supports two processors which requires one retention mecha-
nism for each processor. Before installing the CPU, secure the mother-
board on the rubber pad and metal baseboard. (See page 18.)
When only one processor is used, the other Slot 2 connector must be termi-
nated with the provided front side bus termination module.
