Installing a second processor
The system is compatible with Intel Pentium
®
II processors.
You can either upgrade the existing Pentium II processor or install a second
processor of the same speed as the original processor.
When adding a processor, order a Pentium II processor upgrade kit. The kit
includes the Pentium II processor, a heat sink, and a disposable electrostatic
discharge (static electricity) wrist strap.
It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each Pentium II processor. The
Pentium II processor overheats and fails if it is not cooled sufficiently. The
heat sink provided with the Pentium II 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.
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.
2. Open the case (“Opening the system” on page 3), observing the static
electricity precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.
3. Remove the Terminator Card from the system board.
