Replacing and Adding Internal Devices
Adding a processor
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. The second processor must match the first processor
in speed or the system functions at the speed of the slowest processor.
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 23 and “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 22.)
3 Remove the terminator card from the second processor slot to make room
for the additional processor.
Caution You must install a heatsink or fansink on each processor.
Installing a processor without a heatsink or fansink could
result in damage to, or failure of, the processor.
