The server is compatible with as many as two Intel® Xeon DP (Dual Core) 5100 Series processors. The server automatically detects the processors each time you turn it on. Whenever you install new processors, you should first install the most current version of the BIOS. For instructions, see “Updating the BIOS” on page 58.
Important
You must have a processor in the Processor 1 socket, or your server will not start. If you are upgrading your server from one processor to two, you may need to reconfigure your operating system so it can recognize the additional processor. For instructions, see your operating system’s documentation.
If you install two processors onto the system board, the processors must be the same speed, revision, core voltage, and bus speed.
To replace a processor:
