microprocessors. The settings that are marked on Tool B are “L” for smaller low
core microprocessors, and “H” for larger high core microprocessors. Installation
Tool B supports the following families of microprocessors: E5-26xx, E5-46xx,
E5-26xx v2, E5-46xx v2.
Microprocessor Installation Tools A and B are shown in the following
