Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the following defined criteria, Intel
different processors that meet the following defined criteria, Intel

does not perform validation
testing of this configuration.
For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations,
Intel
®
recommends that identical processors be installed.
When using a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor
socket labeled
socket labeled
“CPU_1”.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same cache size.
Processors with different speeds can be mixed in a system, given the prior rules are
Both processors must have the same cache size.
Processors with different speeds can be mixed in a system, given the prior rules are
met. If this condition is detected, all processor speeds are set to the lowest common
denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.

Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.

Major:
If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is disabled, the system will log
the error to the BIOS Setup Utility Error Manager and then continue to boot.
No POST
error message is given. If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is enabled, the
