Processors

This chapter explains how to install an additional processor and how to upgrade
an existing processor.
For information on preparing the workstation for upgrades, see Chapter 6.

Installing an Additional Processor

You can upgrade the workstation to a multi-processor system by installing a
second Pentium II Xeon processor of the same speed and cache size in the
secondary processor slot. You will also need to install two processor power
modules for this second processor. One module is installed in each of the two
processor power module connectors. These connectors are identified as VRM1
and VRM2 on the system board.
To install a second processor:
1. Turn off the workstation and disconnect the power cord from the
grounded AC outlet and the back of the workstation.
2. Remove the side access panel.
3. Remove the expansion board assembly.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.
