9. Carefully lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket, and place it
on a static-protective surface.
10. If you are instructed to return the microprocessor, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
Installing a microprocessor and heat sink
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor and
heat sink:
v The server supports up to two Intel Xeon
™
dual-core or quad-core
microprocessors. See http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver for a list of supported
microprocessors.
v Do not mix dual-core and quad-core microprocessors in the same server.
v The upgrade of microprocessors are not supported on this server. For example, if
the server came with a 2.0 GHz microprocessor, you cannot upgrade the
microprocessor to a 2.3 GHz microprocessor, it is not supported.
v The first microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor socket 1 on
the system board.
v When one microprocessor is installed, a heat sink filler is not required for
microprocessor socket 2, however, the microprocessor 2 air baffle and the DIMM
air baffle must be installed to provide proper system cooling.
v Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board when you install
the second microprocessor.
v When you install the second microprocessor, you must also install additional
memory.
v To ensure proper server operation when you install an additional microprocessor,
use microprocessors that have the same QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link
speed, integrated memory controller frequency, core frequency, power segment,
internal cache size, and type.
v Mixing microprocessors of different stepping levels within the same server model
is supported.
v When mixing microprocessors with different stepping levels within the same
server model, you do not have to install the microprocessor with lowest stepping
level and features in microprocessor socket 1.
