When adding a second processor order a processor upgrade kit from Gateway.
The kit includes the processor, a fansink or heatsink, and a disposable
grounding wrist strap.

To add a second processor:

1

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all external
peripheral devices.

2

Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 18 and “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 17.)

3

Remove the terminator card from the second processor slot to make room
for the additional processor.

4

If the heatseink is separate, attach it to the processor.

Caution

A heatsink or fansink must be installed on each processor.
Installing a processor without a heatsink or fansink could
result in damage to, or failure of, the processor.
