Configuring Windows NT 4.0 using HP DualExpress!
Included with the HP Processor Accessory is the HP DualExpress!
application. This application is to be used when upgrading Windows NT 4
from a single-processor to a multi-processor system.
Do not use the HP DualExpress! application when upgrading Windows
2000 from a single-processor to a multi-processor system.
Using an installation Wizard, HP DualExpress! guides you through the
operating system upgrade and will take approximately five minutes.
The second processor must be installed and the PC booted. For now,
Windows NT will still only recognize the original processor. Insert the HP
DualExpress! floppy disk in the floppy disk drive and follow the
instructions. When the upgrade is complete, the system reboots. This time
a multi-processing system is recognized.
