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 Option
The server supports single- and dual-processor operation. With two processors
installed, the server supports boot functions through the processor installed in
processor socket 1. However, if processor 1 fails, the system automatically boots
from processor 2 and provides a processor failure message.
