40 Replacing and Adding Internal Devices
9 Align the new processor with the processor slot (note that the processor
slot is keyed so the processor can only be installed one way) and press
firmly to install it.
10 Reconnect the processor fan cable to the processor fan connector on the
system board.
11 Close the case. (See “Closing the case” on page 20.)
12 Reconnect the power cord and all other cords you removed, then turn
on the system.
Adding a processor
The system is compatible with the Intel
®
Pentium
®
III 600 MHz and faster
processors with 100 MHz front-side bus (FSB). As many as two processors may
be installed in the system. The second processor must match the first processor
in speed or the system functions at the speed of the slowest processor.
Important Gateway recommends that you run a processor retest from
the BIOS Setup utility whenever you replace or add a
processor.
