When Not to Upgrade
These procedures involve opening the system’s case, adding and sometimes replac-
ing parts.
You should not perform any of these upgrades if:
• Your system is still under warranty or a service contract
• You don’t have all the necessary equipment
• You’re not in the correct environment
• You doubt your abilities
Under any of these conditions, contact your service representative to purchase or re-
place the component(s).
Upgrading the Processor
If you want to upgrade your computer by replacing the existing processor with a fast-
er/new one you will need to contact your customer service representative. We rec-
ommend that you do not do this yourself, since if it is done incorrectly you may
damage the processor or mainboard.
