Important!

If the error message “update table not found for CPUxx, Stepping xxxx” displays at boot up, run the MULOADER utility located on the disk included with your processor kit. This message may occur under the following conditions: When a new processor has been added that does not include the stepping information in the table. When the BIOS is flashed, it may remove the stepping information form the table which will cause the error message to appear.

Replacing the processor

The system is compatible with Intel Pentium® II Xeon™ processors.

You can either upgrade the existing Pentium II Xeon processor or install a second processor of the same speed as the first processor.

When replacing a processor, order a Pentium II Xeon processor upgrade kit. The kit includes the Pentium II Xeon processor, a heat sink, and a VRM.

It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each Pentium II Xeon processor. The Pentium II Xeon processor overheats and fails if it is not cooled sufficiently. The heat sink provided with the processor on the system provides all necessary cooling for the processor.

For the latest details on the availability of the upgrade kits, contact one of the sources listed in the Assistance Resources document.

To Replace the Processor

1.Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

2.Open the case (“Opening the system” on page 3), observing the static electricity precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.

3.Wearing an anti-static wristband grounded to the system chassis, remove the lock bar from the processor slot by removing the two screws that secure it (see Figure 11).
