X8440 Logical View Of Two Socket Processors to Physical Locations

In a two CPU X8440 Server Module configuration, the physical location for the processors include socket 2 and 3 (physical socket locations 0 and 1 are empty). At boot time, the first processor that activates is automatically viewed by the BIOS and OS as processor 0 and the second processor that activates is automatically viewed as processor 1. Therefore, when troubleshooting issues pertaining to a two CPU configuration on an X8440 Server Module it is important that you properly correspond the logical processor numbers (0 and 1) with the physical locations of the processors (2 and 3). A breakdown of this correspondence is as follows:
