Installing An Additional Microprocessor - IBM 622138U - IntelliStation Z - Pro 6221 User Manual

Installing an additional microprocessor

Your computer comes with one microprocessor installed on the system board. Your
computer supports up to two microprocessors. With two microprocessors, your
computer can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) computer. With SMP,
certain operating systems and application programs can distribute the processing
load among the microprocessors.
Before you begin:
v Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor to
v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported
Attention:
microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, and
the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal and external clock frequencies must
be identical. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program in your computer
to determine the specific type of microprocessor on your system board.
Important: A microprocessor must always be installed in socket CPU1 of the

Configuring the operating system
The Microsoft Windows XP operating system that comes preinstalled on your
computer automatically configures itself when an additional microprocessor is
installed. Other operating systems might need to be manually configured to support
an additional microprocessor.
Installing an additional microprocessor on Windows NT:
If Windows NT is preinstalled on the computer, follow these steps:
1. Backup the hard disk.
