Processor subsystem
The system board supports as many as two processors (CPUs). The board
provides several additional connectors for supporting components, as
described in the following paragraphs.
Processors and processor slots
Depending on the model, the system is equipped with one Intel Pentium
®
II
Xeon
processor with 512-KB, 1-MB, or 2-MB ECC L2 cache, integrated
into a single edge contact (SEC) cartridge.
The system SMP design supports up to two processors and is Intel MP
Specification v1.1 and 1.4 compliant.
Processor fan connectors
The processor fan connectors provide power for the fans mounted on the
processor heatsinks. These fans cool the processors and prevent
overheating. Note that not all processor heatsinks have or need fans. If the
processor heatsink includes a fan, connect it to the correct fan connector.
Important!
Processor slot 1 is the boot
processor slot. In a single
processor configuration, the
processor must be installed
in processor slot 1 and a
terminator card must be
installed in processor slot 2.
