6.4 Processor Configurations
The system is designed such that at least both CPU1 and CPU2 processors are required to access all
the I/O expansion slots. There are two IOH QPI-to-PCIe bridges in order to provide sufficient PCIe
lanes to meet the MRD requirements. IOH1 is the legacy bridge that is connected to CPU1 whereas
IOH2 is connected to CPU2. If only CPU1 is populated, the I/Os behind IOH2 (slots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6)
will not be available.
The system will not boot up if the CPUs are not installed correctly. The supported CPU configuration
is either 2-processors or 4-processors.
