Hardware Upgrades
Installing an Additional Processor
You can upgrade your workstation to a multiprocessor system. When
you install a second processor, it must be the same speed, cache size,
and type as the existing processor.
Å
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces,
allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.
Ä
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the workstation. Before beginning these procedures, be sure you are
discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal
object.
Ä
CAUTION:
Installing the processor incorrectly may damage the system
board. Have an HP authorized reseller or service provider install the
processor. If you plan to install it yourself, read all of the instructions
carefully before you begin.
Before installing a second processor, you must remove the air baffle.
To remove the air baffle:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the power cord
from the grounded AC outlet.
2. Remove the workstation access panel. See “Removing the
Workstation Access Panel” in this chapter.
3. Place the workstation in the desktop position.
