28 Maintaining and Troubleshooting the Gateway ALR 7200 Server

Replacing the 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 first processor.

When replacing 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.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

Open the case (“Opening the system” on page 3), observing the static

electricity precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.

Wearing an anti-static wristband grounded to the system chassis,

remove the lock bar from the processor slot by removing the two

screws that secure it (see Figure 11).
