Processors
The system is compatible with the Intel
®
Pentium
®
III 600 MHz and faster
processors with 100 MHz front-side bus (FSB). As many as two processors may
be installed in the system. You do not need to install additional voltage
regulator modules (VRMs), because the VRMs for both processors are built into
the system board.
Replacing a processor
When replacing a processor, order a processor upgrade kit from Gateway. The
kit includes the processor, a fansink or heatsink, and a disposable grounding
wrist strap.
To replace a processor:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all external
peripheral devices.
2
Open the case by following the instructions on page 18. (See “Preventing
static electricity discharge” on page 17.)
3
Disconnect the processor fan cable from the processor fan connector on
the system board.
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.
