Installing Microprocessors
Installing or Replacing Microprocessors
This section gives the procedure for installing microprocessors. If
you want to remove a microprocessor, reverse the order of the
following steps.
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 54 and “Handling
Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 55.
Ÿ
Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the
microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need
to update the server BIOS. ServerGuide includes IBM
Update Connector, a dial-up program that keeps your BIOS
and device drivers current. You can also obtain the latest
level of BIOS for your server through the World Wide Web
and the IBM PC Company Bulletin Board System (BBS). See
Chapter 6, “Getting Help, Service, and Information” on
page 183 for the appropriate World Wide Web addresses
and bulletin board telephone numbers.
Ÿ
Obtain an SMP operating system (optional). For a list of
supported operating systems, see
http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/server/ on the World Wide
Web.
Ÿ
Read “Accessing the System Board” on page 58.
Attention:
Ÿ
If you install an additional microprocessor that is different from
the currently installed microprocessor, your server operation
might be unreliable. To prevent this, use a microprocessor with
the same internal and external clock speed, and the same cache
size and voltage requirements as those of the currently installed
microprocessor. Microprocessor internal and external clock
frequencies and cache size must be identical.
Ÿ
If you select a setting for the frequency jumper that is greater
than the actual frequency of the microprocessor, you might
damage the microprocessor.
