Upgrading the processor
Your computer’s processor can be upgraded with the installation of a
processor upgrade card.
To upgrade the processor, remove the old processor card following the
instructions in this chapter for opening the computer safely. Then, the new
processor card can be installed following the procedure in this chapter for
installing expansion cards. (Note that an access port cover does not need to
be removed as described in step 6 of “Card Installation” earlier in this
chapter.)
IMPORTANT The processor card can be damaged by static electricity. To avoid
damaging the card, hold it only by the edges—do not touch the connectors or
the components on the card.
Refer to the documentation that came with the processor upgrade card for
important installation instructions specific to the card.
