Adding or Replacing a Processor
If you are adding a second processor to your system, you must first remove the terminator from the
secondary processor socket. The second processor must be compatible with the first processor
(within one stepping, same voltage, same speed, see the IBM support website for details).
1. Observe the safety statements and “Handling Static-sensitive Devices”.
2. Remove the top cover.
3. Remove any PCI cards that may obscure the processors.
4. Raise the locking bar on the processor socket and remove the terminator as shown in Figure 17.
