Before You Start…

Check the website of your system or motherboard manufacturer to see if they are offering an updated BIOS version for your system. If you need to upgrade your system BIOS, do so before removing your old CPU.

For more information about BIOS upgrades, refer to “Upgrading Your Computer’s BIOS” later in this document.

Update your computer’s sound and video drivers.

Select the frontside bus speed and dual CPU pin signal by configuring jumper settings on the PL-P3/SMP.

Unplug your system and remove the cover.

What is the PowerLeap PL-P3/SMP?

The PowerLeap PL-P3/SMP™ provides an economical CPU upgrade path for dual-CPU Slot 1 (Pentium II™- and Pentium III™-based) servers/workstations. With the innovative PL-P3/SMP, you can obtain significantly faster performance (up to 1.4GHz) from your server/workstation by upgrading to Intel Pentium III-S™

("Tualatin" core, 512KB L2 cache) processors. The PL-P3/SMP™ also supports the Intel Pentium III 1.13/1.2GHz and Celeron 1.0A~1.4GHz CPU for single-CPU operation.

Note: This setting depends on the motherboard circuitry design: some VIA 694 chipset-based SMP motherboards can only work stably at 100MHz, not 133MHz.
