Processor Load Order

Processor modules are housed on the processor extender board located under the top cover in the top service bay. The processor extender board can hold between one and four processor modules. CPU 0 and CPU 1 are located on the top of the processor extender board and CPU 2 and CPU 3 are located on the bottom.

Processors must be installed in a specific order as detailed in Table 4-5. Figure 4-13 shows the processor slot locations on the processor extender board.
