Processors
Your system supports up to four Intel Xeon E5-4600 v4 or v3 product family processors.
CAUTION: If you are using a system with two processors, ensure that you use 74 mm wide heat sinks for
processors up to 105 W, 120 W or 135 W.
CAUTION: If you are using a 2.5-inch hard drive/SSD system with four processors, ensure that you use 94 mm
wide heat sinks for processors up to 105 W, 120 W or 135 W.
CAUTION: If you are using a 1.8-inch hard drive/SSD system with four processors, ensure that you use only 74
mm wide heat sinks for processors up to 105 W, 120 W, or 135 W.
NOTE: Mixing of processors of different wattages is not supported.
Use the following procedure when:
● Installing an additional processor
● Replacing a processor
Removing a heat sink
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed only by Dell
certified service technicians.
CAUTION: Never remove the heat sink from a processor unless you intend to remove the processor. The heat
sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
NOTE: To ensure proper system cooling, you must install a processor blank and heat sink blank in any empty processor
socket.
