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 7.

Installing an Additional Processor

If your workstation shipped with a single processor installed, you can upgrade
to a multi-processor system by installing a second Intel Pentium II or Katmai
processor of the same speed, type, and revision in the second processor slot.
To install a second Intel Pentium II or Katmai 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 following components:
workstation cover
expansion board bracket
all system board cables
system board with tray
3. See the following illustrations to install an additional processor.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.
CAUTION: Installing the processor incorrectly may cause
damage to the system board. Compaq recommends that you have
a Compaq authorized reseller or service provider install the
processor. If you plan to install it yourself, read all the instructions
carefully before you begin.
