If

you

plan

to

configure

the

server

for

RAID

operations

through

the

ServeRAID-8k

controller,

the

ServeRAID-8s

controller,

the

optional

ServeRAID-10is

controller,

or

a

combination

of

these

controllers,

you

must

configure

the

disk

arrays

before

you

install

the

operating

system.

See

the

ServeRAID

™

documentation

on

the

IBM

ServeRAID

Support

CD

for

additional

information

about

RAID

operation

and

complete

instructions

for

using

ServeRAID

Manager.

microprocessor

The

following

notes

describe

the

type

of

microprocessor

that

the

server

supports

and

other

information

that

you

must

consider

when

you

install

a

microprocessor:

The

server

supports

Intel

Xeon

dual-core

or

quad-core

1.6

GHz

or

higher

microprocessors

in

each

socket.

If

you

are

installing

two

microprocessors,

they

must

be

the

same

cache

size

and

type,

and

the

same

clock

speed.

v

Some

models

support

dual-core

processors

and

quad-core

processors.

Do

not

mix

dual-core

processors

and

quad-core

processors

in

the

same

server.

Install

all

dual-core

or

all

quad-core

processors

in

the

server.

v

Read

the

documentation

that

comes

with

the

microprocessor

to

determine

whether

you

must

update

the

basic

input/output

system

(BIOS)

code

in

the

server.

To

download

the

most

current

level

of

BIOS

code

for

the

server,

operating

system.

You

can

use

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program

to

microprocessor,

complete

the

2.

Turn

off
