Removing A Processor Cartridge Or Termination Board; Option Boards - NEC HX4600 User Manual

8. Replace the left side panel and turn on the system.
9. After you have installed a new processor, run the BIOS Setup Utility to configure
its speed.

Removing a Processor Cartridge or Termination Board

Use the following procedure to remove a processor cartridge or termination board.
1. Power off the system and remove the left side panel as described earlier.
Note:
Hold processors only by their edges.
2. On the processor or termination card being removed, push in the right end of the
retention arm to unlock the arm.
3. Pull the retention arm toward you and remove the arm (see Figure 4-9).
4. Pull the two tabs on the cartridge or termination board straight out to disengage the
cartridge or board from the CPU baseboard (see Figure 4-10).
5. Pull the cartridge or termination board straight out of the retention module. Place on
a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.
6. Put the old cartridge in conductive foam and store in an antistatic package.
7. Install a new processor cartridge or termination card (see "Installing a Processor
Cartridge or Termination Card"). If not installing a processor, install a termination
card the same way as a cartridge and remove the appropriate VRM module(s).
8. Replace the left side panel and turn on the system.

Option Boards

The following sections describe how to install and remove ISA and PCI option boards.
The system I/O board has four dedicated 64-bit PCI bus expansion slots, six dedicated
32-bit PCI expansion slots and one combination expansion slot that may be used as an
ISA expansion slot or a 32-bit PCI expansion slot. (see Figure 4-12).
The high-performance PCI local bus allows the adoption of newer networking
technology, such as 100 Mega-bit/second Ethernet NICs, with a minimum of effort and
without concern for I/O bottlenecks. The PCI local bus offers up to 266 Mega-
byte/second bandwidth (64-bit slots).
