Installing A Second Processor - Gateway ALR 8200 Maintaining And Troubleshooting

Installing a second processor

The system is compatible with Intel Pentium
You can either upgrade the existing Pentium II processor or install a second
processor of the same speed as the original. When adding a processor, order
a Pentium II processor upgrade kit. The kit includes the Pentium II
processor, a heat sink, and a disposable electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist
strap. For the latest details on the availability of upgrade kits, contact one of
the sources listed in the Assistance Resources document.
It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each Pentium II processor. The
Pentium II processor overheats and fails if it is not cooled sufficiently. The
heat sink provided with the Pentium II processor on the system provides all
necessary cooling for the processor.
