Installing a Processor

The Silicon Graphics 320 visual workstation contains slots for two
processors—a primary processor and an optional secondary
processor. If you are installing a secondary processor, the stepping
value must match that of the primary processor. See "Finding the
Stepping Value of a Processor" for more information.
After installing a secondary processor, or installing an upgrade, you
need to reinstall the Windows NT system software. It is a good idea to
back up your files before performing this installation.
1. Shut down the system and turn off the power. For detailed
instructions, see "Shutting Down the System" on page 12.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the system.
3. Remove the side cover. For detailed instructions, see "Removing
the Side Cover" on page 16.
4. Touch a metal part of the chassis with your hand to discharge any
static you might be carrying.
