4-3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This server supports two processors which requires one retention mechanism for each processor. Before installing the CPU, secure the mother- board on the rubber pad and metal baseboard. (See page 18.)

When only one processor is used, the other Slot 2 connector must be terminated with the provided front side bus termination module.
