NOTE:

 The processor kit for the 1st CPU must be ordered with a base model.
 The processor models must be the same to configure dual processor system.
 High performance CPU heat sink is shipped with the processor with 130 Watt or higher and Platinum 8156, Gold 6128, 5122. The

standard CPU heat sink is shipped with all other processors.

 Estimated production lead time for the make-to-order processor kits will be approximately 3 months.
 When using 3 slots (Except LOM slot and RAID slot), it is necessary to purchase the riser card option after setting it to 2 CPU
