Dell 6100 - Table 8-2. Valid Microprocessor Configurations

8-10 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Both microprocessor module sockets must be filled
regardless of how many microprocessors are installed;
you must use a bus termination module in the second
socket if you have only one microprocessor installed.
Note that both sockets on the primary module should be
populated before populating the sockets on the secondary
module. Table 8-2 shows the valid microprocessor
configurations.
Similarly, both of the microprocessor module connectors
on the system board must be populated. For example, if
you are using only one or two microprocessors on one
microprocessor module (thus populating the primary
connector), the second connector on the system board
must also be populated with either another micro-
processor module or a terminator card.
