An HT jumper is nothing more than a dummy CPU place-holder in CPU position 1 for single-CPU servers. These jumpers look like regular CPUs, with identical heat sinks, and identical maintenance procedures for replacement.
The memory slots next to an HT jumper in CPU position 1 are never populated.
To identify the single-CPU server, check the CPU count during BIOS POST:
The single-CPU server configuration can be converted to a dual-CPU configuration by adding a CPU that is identical to the one in CPU postion 0 and installing it into CPU position 1.
For DIMM population rules for a single-CPU system, see Installing DIMMs Into a Single-CPU System.
| Note - All graphics in this section show Sun Fire X4200 servers unless otherwise noted. Both Sun Fire X4100 and X4200 servers are shown where significant differences exist. |
