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.

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.

Remove the Terminator Card from the system board.
