v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported
operating systems and optional devices, see http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver.
v To order additional microprocessor optional devices, contact your Lenovo
marketing representative or authorized reseller.
v The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you
do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.
v If you have to replace a microprocessor, call for service.
v The heat-sink FRU is packaged with the thermal grease applied to the underside:
If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner)
is removed from the heat sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom
of the heat sink or set down the heat sink.
You must replace the thermal grease if it becomes contaminated or has come
in contact with another object other than its paired microprocessor.
The thermal grease is available as a separate FRU.
v Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board to install the
second microprocessor.
v Some models support dual-core processors and quad-core processors. Do not
use dual-core processors and quad-core processors in the same server. Install all
dual-core or all quad-core processors in the server.
