When adding a second processor order a processor upgrade kit from Gateway.
The kit includes the processor, a fansink or heatsink, and a disposable
grounding wrist strap.
To add a second processor:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all external
peripheral devices.
2 Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 18 and “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 17.)
3
Remove the terminator card from the second processor slot to make room
for the additional processor.
4
If the heatseink is separate, attach it to the processor.
Caution A heatsink or fansink must be installed on each processor.
Installing a processor without a heatsink or fansink could
result in damage to, or failure of, the processor.
