Upgrading and Installing Server Components 31
Installing a Processor
The server supports up to two Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processors (with 100 MHz system
bus). If you are installing two processors, make sure they are the same speed, voltage, and
stepping.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional
cautions given here.
2. Remove the new processor from its anti-static package and place it on a grounded, static free
surface or conductive foam pad.
3. Attach the small end of the power cable to the fan connector on the S.E.C. cartridge, then attach
the connector (E) to the 3-pin signal prongs (F) on the server board.

4. Orient the processor so that the heat sink faces the I/O connectors. Slide the processor into the
retention module. Push down firmly, with even pressure on both sides of the top, until the
processor is seated.
5. To lock in the processor, push the latches inward on the retention module until they click into
place. The latches must be secured for proper electrical connection of the processor.
6. After you have installed the processor, you must configure its speed in BIOS set-up.
