Processors
11.2 Upgrading to dual processor configuration
V CAUTION!
– Processors are modules which are extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharges and therefore must always be handled with
care. After a processor has been removed from its protective sleeve
or from its socket, place it with its smooth side down on a non-
conducting, antistatic surface. Never push a processor over a
surface.
– Only processors of the same type may be used on the system board.
That means the number of the internal processor cores as well as the
primary clock and the QPI frequency have to be the same.
– For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor operating system.
