15. Reinstall the foam cover.
16. Close the case, as described in “Closing the System” on page 7.
17. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the system.
Installing Another Processor
The system is compatible with Intel Pentium
®
II Xeon
™
processors. You
can either upgrade the existing processor or install another 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 Pentium II Xeon processor, a heat sink, and latches.
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 in 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.
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.
2. Open the case, observing the static electricity precautions in “Static
Electricity Precautions” on page 2 and remove the foam cover on the
electronics bay.
3. Wear an anti-static wristband grounded to the system chassis and
place processors on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam
pad.
4. Remove the termination card in the lowest numbered empty processor
slot. (Processor slots are numbered from the bottom up or from the
edge of the system board toward the center of the board.) With your
To Install a Second Processor
Note:
The foam cover is required
to control airflow past the
processors for proper
cooling. Failure to install the
foam cover could result in
damage to the processors
and other system
components.
Note:
If the server has less than
four processors and you are
adding one, then you must
remove the termination
board assembly from the
next Slot 2 connector before
you install the new
processor. If you plan to
reduce the number of
processors in your system,
then you must replace a
processor with a termination
board assembly.
