Attention
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 the
BIOS and device drivers current. You can also
obtain the latest level of BIOS for the server
through the World Wide Web and the IBM PC
Company Bulletin Board System (BBS).
Obtain an SMP operating system (optional). For
a list of supported operating systems, see
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/server/ on the World
Wide Web.
If you install an additional microprocessor that is
different from the currently installed
microprocessor, the 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.
If you select a setting for the frequency jumper
that is greater than the actual frequency of the
microprocessor, you might damage the
microprocessor.
Caution
If the server has been operating, the heat sinks on the
installed microprocessor will be hot. You can avoid
getting a burn while removing an existing
microprocessor or installing an additional one, if you
let the components cool for 10 minutes before
continuing with the procedures described in this
section.
