When adding a second processor order a processor upgrade kit from Gateway. The kit includes the processor, a fansink or heatsink, and a disposable grounding wrist strap.
Caution | A heatsink or fansink must be installed on each processor. |
| Installing a processor without a heatsink or fansink could |
| result in damage to, or failure of, the processor. |

To add a second processor:
1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all external peripheral devices.
2Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 18 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 17.)
3Remove the terminator card from the second processor slot to make room for the additional processor.
4If the heatseink is separate, attach it to the processor.
