Introduction
The Pentium II processor module comes with a single Pentium II processor
installed. Installing a second Pentium II processor increases the capabilities of
your server. This chapter describes the configuration guidelines that must be
followed prior to upgrading as well as detailed procedures on removing and
installing the Pentium II processor module.

Processor Configuration Guidelines
You can upgrade your server to a dual Pentium II processor configuration. To
upgrade, you must purchase and install the items supplied in the Pentium II
processor upgrade kit. Contact your authorized DIGITAL sales representative
for more information.
• Single processor configurations must have a termination card installed in
the Slot socket not used. The termination card must be removed prior to
installing a second processor.
DIGITAL recommends that dual processor configurations use Pentium II
processors with identical
with different stepping might not function properly. Stepping
information appears during the Power On Self Test (POST) for each
processor. The processors IDs are also displayed with both IDs being
identical.
Use only DIGITAL-supplied processor modules.
Use an antistatic wrist strap when servicing any part of the server.

Processor Switch Settings
The following table provides the switch settings for a number of available
Pentium II processors. The switches are set correctly for the Pentium II
processor that came with the server you purchased. You only need to change the
Pentium II processor switch settings, that is SW1, should you upgrade to another
Pentium II processor. See Table 2 on next page.
CAUTION:
you are safely grounded. Wear a grounded wrist strap or touch
an exposed metal part of the server chassis. A static discharge
from your fingers can result in permanent damage to electronic
components.
Do not touch any electronic component unless
