Processor Configurations

Single Processor Configuration

The PowerEdge R710 is designed so that a single processor placed in the CPU1 socket functions normally. The

system will halt during power-on self-test (POST) if a single processor is placed in the CPU2 socket. If using a

single processor, the R710 requires a heatsink blank in the CPU2 socket for thermal reasons.

Processor Power Voltage Regulation Modules (EVRD 11.1)

Voltage regulation to the Intel Xeon processor 5500 and 5600 series 2S is provided by EVRD (Enterprise Voltage

Regulator-Down). EVRDs are embedded on the planar. Processor core voltage is not shared between processors.

EVRDs support static phase shedding and power management through the PMBus.

Processor Installation

Refer to the Processors section in the Installing System Components chapter of the Dell PowerEdge R710
