Adding Processors
The system supports up to four processors on the processor board. All four sockets are Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) type that meet Overdrive Socket 8 specification.
Each processor upgrade kit from Intergraph includes two processors (with heat sink attached to each),
two Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs), two metal clips, and a disposable antistatic wrist strap.
Follow these instructions to install the upgrade.
To upgrade the processors:
1.
Remove the left side panel. Examine the existing processors and VRMs to see how they fit into
their sockets. Note the metal clip securing the processor heat sinks.
2.
Raise the levers on the two empty processor sockets.
3.
Install the processors into the sockets. The pins on the bottom of the processors are arranged to
ensure proper insertion into the socket.
4.
Attach the metal clip to each processor and heat sink. Both ends of the clip must engage the socket
tabs.
