Upgrading the Processor

If you want to upgrade your computer by replacing the existing processor with
a faster/new one you will need to contact your customer service representa-
tive. We recommend that you do not do this yourself, since if it is done incor-
rectly you may damage the processor or mainboard

 Appendix A: page A-5

.

Warranty Warning

The CPU is not a user
serviceable part.
Opening the CPU
compartment, or ac-
cessing the CPU in
any way, may violate
your warranty.

CPU Speeds & Power Supplies - Model A

90W power adapters for Model A CPUs of 2.0/2.2/2.4GHz will not supply enough
power for CPUs 

below

 these speeds.

See 

 Appendix A: page A-1

 for information on processors, and

 page A-5 ’Power

(Model A)’

 for specific power information.
