Replacing or Adding System Components
Replacing the processor
The server is compatible with the Intel
®
Celeron
™
or Pentium
®
III, socketed
processors with 100 or 133 MHz front side bus (FSB). Processor and bus speed
are automatically detected by the server. There are no system board jumpers
to set. Whenever you replace the processor, you should install the most
current version of the BIOS as well (see “Updating the BIOS” on page 61).
When replacing a processor, order a processor replacement from Gateway. The
kit includes the processor and a heatsink.
To replace the processor you must perform the following tasks:
■
Remove the heatsink
■
Remove the processor
■
Install the new processor
■
Replace the heatsink
To remove the heatsink:
1
Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Preventing static electricity
discharge” on page 15.
2
Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cord(s), modem cable (if
installed), and all external devices.
3
Remove the cover panel. (See “Removing the cover panel” on page 17.)
Caution A heatsink must be installed on the processor. Installing
a processor without a heatsink could result in damage to,
or failure of, the processor.
Caution The processor may be hot if you recently turned off the
server.
