13Replace processor 1 with processor 2. See "Installing the Processor" on page 66.

14Repeat step 9 through step 11.

If you have tested both the processors and the problem persists, the system board is faulty. See "Getting Help" on page 133.

IRQ Assignment Conflicts

Most PCI devices can share an IRQ with another device, but they cannot use an IRQ simultaneously. To avoid this type of conflict, see the documentation for each PCI device for specific IRQ requirements.
