Installing a Dual Processor Module
Either one or two dual processor modules can be installed on the system board. Module #1 is located to the
right of the system board and module #2 (when installed) is located at the center of the system board next to
the bridge assembly. In a 1-way or 2-way configuration, the one dual processor module must be installed in
CPU0 socket.
