v v v v v v v v v Important: Dual-core and quad-core microprocessors are not interchangeable and cannot be used in the same server. For example, if the server has a dual-core microprocessor, you cannot install a quad-core microprocessor as the second microprocessor. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine the type and speed of the microprocessor that is currently installed in the server. The server supports up to two microprocessors.
Note: For simplicity, certain components are not shown in this illustration. 1 2 3 4 Heat sink Heat-sink filler Microprocessor Microprocessor-socket dust cover Attention: v A startup (boot) microprocessor must always be installed in microprocessor connector 1 on the system board. v To ensure correct server operation when you install an additional microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, front-side bus frequency, and clock speed.
4. Remove the microprocessor air baffle (see “Removing the microprocessor air baffle” on page 34). 5. Install the VRM in the VRM connector. a. Touch the static-protective package containing the VRM to any unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the VRM from the package. b. Turn the VRM so that the keys align correctly with the VRM connector 1 . 6. 7. 8. 9. c. Firmly press the VRM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the VRM simultaneously. d.
c. Rotate the microprocessor release lever 2 on the socket from its closed and locked position until it stops in the fully open position. Attention: v Do not touch the microprocessor contacts; handle the microprocessor by the edges only. Contaminants on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between the contacts and the socket. v Handle the microprocessor carefully. Dropping the microprocessor during installation or removal can damage the contacts.
Attention: Do not touch the thermal grease 1 on the bottom of the heat sink 2 or set down the heat sink after you remove the plastic cover. Touching the thermal grease will contaminate it. a. Make sure that the heat-sink release lever is in the open position. b. Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the heat sink. c.

Memory mirroring stores data in two pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the active pair to the mirroring pair.
To install a DIMM, complete the following steps. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 29. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and all external cables. Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other than Lenovo service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power supply. 3.
When you use memory mirroring, you must install two pairs of DIMMs at a time. The four DIMMs in each group must be identical. See Table 4 for the DIMM connectors that are in each group. Table 4.
