Microprocessor (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)

Microprocessor

The server comes with two processor boards and one microprocessor. It supports a maximum of four microprocessors (two on each of the processor boards). The system board contains two processor-board connectors:
one is primary, the other is secondary. You must maintain a processor board in each connector.

The server can operate as an SMP server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing load among the microprocessors
This enhances performance for applications, such as database transaction processing, Internet applications, and groupware.

NOTE: Be sure you have:

•  Thoroughly reviewed the documentation that  comes with the microprocessor, so that you can  determine whether you need to update the  servers basic input/output system (BIOS). The  latest level of BIOS for the server is available  through the World Wide Web and the IBM PC  Company Bulletin Board System (BBS). See 'Online Support' for the appropriate  World Wide Web addresses and bulletin-board telephone numbers.
•  Obtained an SMP-capable operating system  (optional). For a list of supported operating  systems, see http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/servers on  the World Wide Web.
•  To avoid damage and ensure proper server  operation when you install a newer additional  microprocessor, use the same speed and voltage  as those of the currently installed microprocessor.
   Microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies must be identical.
