Attention:
If you select a setting for the frequency switch that is greater than the actual
frequency of the microprocessor, you might damage the microprocessor.
For additional information about the switch settings, refer to the “Hardware
Information” section of this
Server Library or the label inside the server cover.

If you replaced the microprocessor with one that has a different speed, you
must change the switch settings on the system board. For switch settings,
see the following illustration.

Review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, to determine
if you need to update the server BIOS.
The “ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information” section of this Server
Library includes information about IBM Update Connector, which 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 Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board System
(BBS). Refer to the “Getting Help Information” section of this
Server Library
for the appropriate World Wide Web addresses and bulletin board telephone
numbers.

Because you installed a new microprocessor in your server, you might need
to make changes to your operating system.
Ÿ
If your operating system does not support SMP, install one of the SMP
operating systems that your server supports. Refer to
http://www.pc.ibm.com/netfinity/ on the World Wide Web.
Ÿ
If your operating system does support SMP, refer to your
operating-system documentation. You might need to make changes so
that the operating system recognizes the new microprocessor.
