Before You Start…
Check the website of your system or motherboard manufacturer to see if they are
offering an updated BIOS version for your system. If you need to upgrade your
system BIOS, do so before removing your old CPU.
For more information about BIOS upgrades, refer to “Upgrading Your Computer’s
BIOS” later in this document.
Update your computer’s sound and video drivers.
Select the frontside bus speed and dual CPU pin signal by configuring jumper
settings on the PL-P3/SMP.
Unplug your system and remove the cover.

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)
processors. 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.
