3.1.2 Processor Population Rules
When using a single processor configuration, you must install the processor into the processor
socket labeled CPU_1. A terminator is not required in the second processor socket when a
single processor is used.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
 Both processors must be from the same processor family.
 Both processors must have the same Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect speed.
 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.
