Installing CPU Boards
If you ordered a CPU board factory-installed, you may
skip this chapter. If you must install a CPU board in
your system, read all of this information.
When actually performing the installation, refer to the
following documents for information on installing CPU
boards in the system:
• Quick Hardware Installation
that came with your
system
• Release Notes
that came with your CPU board
•
Chapter 2 of this
User Guide
for the location of the
CPU board slot on the system board (Figure 2-1)
When installing CPU boards, do not attempt to make
any hardware changes unless you are a qualified
technician. Ask your dealer for assistance.
There are two released versions of system BIOS. One
is for uniprocessor CPU boards, and the other is for
dual processor CPU boards. These versions of BIOS
are not interchangeable. Flashing the incorrect version
renders the system unusable.
For example, if you flash the BIOS version released
for a uniprocessor CPU board on a system configured
with a dual CPU board you cannot use the system. If
this happens, you must insert the appropriate CPU
board into the system and reflash the original BIOS.
