Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Processor and fan option
The server supports single- and dual-processor operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel
should attempt to replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION: To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor
configurations must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT: If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before
installing the processor.
To install a processor:
1. Power down the server (on page 23).
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
