6.
Replace any cables or boards that you may have removed during this procedure.
7.
Replace the system unit cover (see “Replacing the System Unit Cover”).
NOTE:
If you find a discrepancy in the amount
of memory displayed at the Power-On Self-Test
with the amount of memory that you installed,
check that you installed the SIMMs correctly.
Processor Upgrade
The zero-insertion force (ZIF) socket makes a processor upgrade easy. The ZIF socket
accepts a modified staggered pin-grid-array (SPGA) processor, along with a programmable
voltage regulator for the CPU core. The socket provides a performance-upgrade path to
Pentium Pro OverDrive technology. The voltage regulator programming is automatic and
controlled by the processor VID pins.
CAUTION:
Incorrect installation of the
processor can damage the processor, system
board, or both. Follow the installation
instructions carefully.
The system requires a heatsink on the OverDrive
processor. Verify that you have the correct
heatsink for the processor.
