If one every decides to add a 2nd CPU to a Dell PowerEdge r520, besides the CPU, CPU sink, extra system fan, one also needs a different PCIe riser card.
What?
Turns out the riser cards are different! If one puts a 2nd CPU in to a system without replacing the riser, the system works, however the system LCD will be amber, flashing, and giving an error: :HWC2005 system board riser cable interconnect failure". The machine still functions just fine, it just has the annoying alerts.
