Microprocessor Upgrades

To take advantage of future options in speed and functionality, you can add a second microprocessor or replace either the primary or secondary
microprocessor.

WARNING:

Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its power source. For more information, see

"

Safety First— For You and Your System

" in "Troubleshooting Your System."

CAUTION:

See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System Information document.

NOTICE:

The second microprocessor must be of the same type and speed as the first microprocessor.
