What is the PowerLeap PL-P3/SMP?
The PowerLeap PL-P3/SMP™ provides an
economical CPU upgrade path for
dual-CPU Slot 1 (Pentium II™- and
Pentium III™-based) servers/workstations.
With the innovative PL-P3/SMP, you can
obtain significantly faster performance (up
to 1.4GHz) from your server/workstation by
upgrading to Intel Pentium III-S™
("Tualatin" core, 512KB L2 cache)
rocessors. The PL-P3/SMP™ also
supports the Intel Pentium III 1.13/1.2GHz
and Celeron 1.0A~1.4GHz CPU for
single-CPU operation.
100MHz
Note: This setting depends on the motherboard circuitry des i gn: some VIA 694
chipset-based SMP m otherboards can only work stably at 100MHz, not 133MHz.

Installation Guid
Installation
Installing the PL-P3/SMP™ is quick and easy: First, remove the original processors from the motherboard’s
processor slots. Next, insert a processor into the PL-P3/SMP™, apply thermal compound to the processor, and
install the heatsink/fan. Finally, install the PL-P3/SMP™ into the motherboard’s processor slot and make power
connections.
