Hardware options installation
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.
Second processor option
The server supports single-processor and dual-processor operation.
When processor 2 is installed, install fan 1 and the PCI air baffles.
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. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, open and remove the bezel ("Remove the tower bezel" on page 20).
o For rack models, if installed, remove the security bezel (on page 22).
2. Power down the server (on page 20).
3. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
4. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, place the server on a flat, level surface with the access panel facing up.
o For rack models, extend the server from the rack (on page 25).
5. Remove the access panel (on page 24).
6. Remove the air baffle (on page 25).
