Processor installation cautions

The server supports single-processor and dual-processor operations.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor and system board, only authorized personnel should attempt to
replace or install the processor in this server.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server overheating, always populate each processor socket with a processor socket
cover and a processor blank, or a processor and a heatsink.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible server malfunction and damage to the equipment, multiprocessor configurations
must contain processors with the same part number.
IMPORTANT:
If installing a processor with a faster speed, update the system ROM before installing the processor.
IMPORTANT:
Processor socket 1 must be populated at all times or the server does not function.
For optimum performance, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends:
• Use DIMMs that match the speed of the processor installed in the server. Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4
processors are optimized to work with 2400 MHz DIMMs.
• In a multiprocessor configuration, balance the total capacity of the DIMMs across the processors.
