14. Connect the signal and power cables from the SAS riser-card to the back of
the tape drive.
Attention: Make sure that all the cables are positioned underneath the
tape-drive assembly before you insert the assembly in the tape-drive bay.
Otherwise, the cables might be damaged.
15. Slide the tape-drive assembly the rest of the way into the tape-drive bay.
16. Push the latch to the closed (locked) position.
Installing a second microprocessor
Use this information to install a second microprocessor.
About this task
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a microprocessor:
Important: Always use the microprocessor installation tool to install a
microprocessor. Failing to use the microprocessor installation tool may damage the
microprocessor sockets on the system board. Any damage to the microprocessor
sockets may require replacing the system board.
v The server supports certain Intel Xeon scalable multi-core microprocessors,
which are designed for the LGA 1366 socket. These microprocessors are 64-bit
dual-core or quad-core microprocessors with an integrated memory controller,
quick-path interconnect, and shared last cache. See http://www.ibm.com/
systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of supported
microprocessors.
v The server supports up to two microprocessors. If the server comes with one
microprocessor, you can install a second microprocessor.
v Do not install an Intel Xeon
™
5500 series microprocessor and an Intel Xeon
™
5600 series microprocessor in the same server.
v Both microprocessors must have the same QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link
speed, integrated memory controller frequency, core frequency, power segment,
cache size, and type.
v Read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to determine
whether you must update the server firmware for the server. To download the
most current level of server firmware and many other code updates for your
server, complete the following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support, click System x.
3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.
4. Click System x3650 M3 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the
server.
v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported
operating systems and optional devices, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/
info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
v To order additional microprocessor optional devices, contact your IBM
marketing representative or authorized reseller.
v The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you
do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.
v If you have to replace a microprocessor, call for service.
