Processor memory boards
The server supports up to four processor memory boards with AMD® Opteron™ processors.
CAUTION: Processor memory boards 1 and 2 must always be installed. The system will not boot if either board is missing.
CAUTION: Update the ROM to be sure that the system ROM recognizes the new processor you are installing. For the most recent ROMPaq, see the HP website, and follow the support link on the product website.
Failure to flash the ROM before installing processor memory boards can cause system failure.
IMPORTANT: Mixing processor speeds and cache sizes is not supported.
Processor memory board population guidelines
•All processors must be of the same speed and cache size.
•Processor memory boards 1 and 2 must always be installed.
•Processor memory boards 3 and 4 must be installed as a pair. Figure 10 Locating the processor memory boards
