Each microprocessor is contained within an SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly.
The system board has two guide-bracket assemblies, which hold the SEC cartridge
and heat sink assemblies. If your system has only one microprocessor, the secondary
guide-bracket assembly must contain a terminator card.
If you add a second microprocessor to the system, its maximum speed need not
match that of the primary microprocessor, but the internal operating speed of the
faster microprocessor will be reduced to match the speed of the slower
microprocessor.
