Installation Guide
•
Are there any restrictions on the maximum speed of the Celeron, or can it just
take the fastest I wish to install (say the FC-PGA Celeron 700MHz)?
You can use any available Celeron, including the 700MHz. However, to use a Celeron
running faster than 600MHz, you must use the PL-Pro/II in conjunction with the
PowerLeap Neo S370.
•
How about using two connectors on the same power line for a dual-CPU
machine?
Since the Celeron CPU draws much less current than the AMD K6-III, it's possible to
use the Y-type power cable to connect two Celerons to the same power line. But for the
greatest stability for an SMP system (especially servers or high-end workstations), you'd
better use a dedicated power connector for each CPU.
•
With the PL-Pro/II, why do I need the CPU Control Panel to enable the PPGA
Celeron's L2 cache?
Because your computer's BIOS will not recognize the Celeron's CPU ID, it will fail to
initialize the CPU's L2 cache. PowerLeap CPU Control Panel can enable the L2 cache.
The L2 cache for FC-PGA Celerons (700MHz, 633MHz) is automatically enabled so
there is no need to enable it in the PowerLeap CPU Control Panel.

What is the PowerLeap CPU Control Panel?
The CPU Control Panel is a companion utility that works with most PowerLeap CPU
upgrades. It provides support for new CPUs that the original system's BIOS may not
support. The Control Panel also works with the CPU Temperature Monitor, providing
a robust way to react to fan failure or other overheating condition.
