Installing a second 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 original. When adding a processor, order a Pentium II Xeon processor upgrade kit. The kit includes the processor, a heat sink, and a disposable electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. For the latest details on the availability of upgrade kits, contact one of the sources listed in the Assistance Resources document.

It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each 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, as long as the system covers are on.

To Install a Second Processor

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

2.Open the case, observing the ESD precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.
