Removing an Expansion Board

Installing an Additional Processor

Compaq Evo Workstation W8000 Hardware Reference Guide
Reverse the steps in the previous section to remove an expansion
board. When reversing these steps:
Be sure to store the board in antistatic packaging.
Install an expansion slot cover to close the open slot.
You can upgrade your workstation to a multiprocessor system. When
you install a second processor, it must be the same speed, cache size,
and type as the existing processor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces,
allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Installing the processor incorrectly may cause damage to
the system board. Have a Compaq authorized reseller or service
provider install the processor. If you choose to install it yourself, read all
of the instructions carefully before you begin.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the workstation. Before beginning these procedures, be sure that you
are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal
object.
To install a second processor:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord
from the grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel. See "Removing the
Workstation Access Panel" in this chapter.
3. Remove the memory expansion board. See "Removing the
Memory Expansion Board" in this chapter.
4. Disconnect the cables from the hard drive and move them away
from the processor area.
