Preparing for a Processor Upgrade
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Installing the processor incorrectly may cause damage to the
system board. Have a Compaq authorized reseller or service provider install
the processor. If you choose to install it yourself, read all of the instructions
carefully before you begin.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
workstation. Before beginning these procedures, be sure that you are
discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.
