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 processor.
When adding a processor, order a Pentium II Xeon processor upgrade kit.
The kit includes the processor, a heat sink, and aVRM.
It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each Pentium II Xeon processor.
The 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.
