About This Upgrade Accessory

Use this accessory kit to upgrade the processors in your HP NetServer E 60,
LC 3, LH 3/3r, or LPr, as follows:
Upgrade an HP NetServer E 60, LC 3, LH 3/3r, or LPr by replacing an
existing processor module with a higher-speed processor.
Upgrade an HP NetServer E 60, LC 3, LH 3/3r, or LPr by adding a second
processor module to a single-processor system.
NOTE
Use only HP processor modules recommended for your
NetServer.
When adding a second processor, its type (Pentium II or III),
clock speed (frequency), and cache size must match the
existing processor module, and the processor steppings must
be compatible. Your HP reseller can advise you about
matching processor modules.
When installing two processor modules, use processor
upgrade kits with the same HP product number. This ensures
that the processor type, clock speed, and cache size match,
and that the processor steppings are compatible.
You can also use this kit to install a processor module and its voltage regulator
module (VRM) on a new HP NetServer LC 3 system board that will be used to
convert an HP NetServer LC II to an HP NetServer LC 3. For that installation
and conversion, do the following:
Refer to this guide for instructions on installing the processors and VRMs
on the new system board and on running HP DiagTools to verify the
installation.
Refer to the HP NetServer LC 3 System Board Upgrade Installation
Guide for instructions on installing the new system board and completing
the conversion.
