4. Remove any preinstalled screws from the system board around the second processor socket. 5. Open the second processor socket lever 1 fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 135 degrees). 6. Line up the two keyed corners of the pins on the processor with the two keyed corners of the processor socket and install the processor 2 into the socket. Ensure that the underside of the processor is level with the top of the processor socket. 7.
13. Reassemble the workstation and restore power. NOTE: A manual Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) upgrade is necessary when installing a second processor after the system has gone through the software unbundling process. If a second processor is installed prior to unbundling, a manual upgrade is not necessary. HP recommends that the software unbundling process be completed prior to installing additional components.
■ Each DIMM within a pair should be identical in technology. For example, you cannot mix a 256 MB 9-device DIMM with a 128MB 18-device DIMM on the same channel. NOTE: To identify which DIMM technology you are using, compare the memory size and number of DRAM components on the module. A 128 MB DIMM has 18 DRAM components that fully populate both sides of the module. A 256MB DIMM has 9 DRAM components; four on one side, five on the other. ■ The first pair of DIMMS should be installed in slots 1 and 2.
Hyper-Threading Technology Hyper-Threading Technology is a high performance technology, developed by Intel®, that allows a single processor to execute multiple threads of instructions simultaneously. Hyper-Threading Technology enables the processor to utilize its execution resources more efficiently, delivering performance increases and improving user productivity. Not all systems benefit from the Hyper-Threading Technology.
