Upgrading P54C to P55C
To upgrade Yukon HX motherboard from P54C to P55C, two procedures need to be
completed: (1) Install a 3.3V voltage regulator on the board; (2) Change the jumper
settings of JP9 and J31.
All Yukon HX comes with a 3.3V voltage slot (white color) located above of the CPU. To
upgrade, you need to purchase a 3.3V voltage regulator from any electronic store.
Once you purchase the 3-pin 3.3V voltage regulator, cut the pin so that the remaining
length of the pin is approximately 0.25 inch.
