Consider the problem on the PPM, ppm is the "Processor Power Module Processor Power Modules" abbreviation, General Enterprise Server equipment to increase the CPU needs to increase
PPM is CPU-powered, typically a single CPU server does not require PPM, but the addition of multiple CPUs will require an increase in ppm, it is worth noting that the increase in CPU after the need for each CPU
PPM, including the original CPU, for example: the original server only one CPU does not need ppm, but when the increase to two CPUs, it will need to be equipped with two PPM for the new increase of the CPU and the original
CPUs are equipped separately. In addition to increase the CPU generally also need to increase the fan, each additional CPU added a group of fans, attention is a group rather than one. These are equipped in a specific way
May vary depending on the brand model of the server.
The next step is to find suppliers to buy such power!
