If your system has less than four processors and you are ADDING one, then you must remove the
termination board in the empty Slot 2 connector. The procedure for removing a termination board
is the same as for removing a processor
If you plan to reduce the number of processors in your system, then you must replace a processor
with a termination board. The procedure for installing a termination board is the same for
installing a processor.
1.
Read through the instructions on page 4 of this chapter and any additional cautions given
here.
2.
Remove the new processor from its antistatic package and place it on a grounded, static-free
surface or conductive foam pad.
3.
Orient the S.E.C. cartridge so that the heat sink faces away from the center of the baseboard.
4.
If you are installing a termination board, orient it so that the side with the white bar-code
label faces away from the center of the baseboard.
5.
With the tabs at the top of the S.E.C. cartridge completely open (pulled outward, away from
the center of the cartridge (C), slide the cartridge into the guide rails of the retention module
(B). When done properly, the triangular ends of the tabs (with two round pegs on each) fit
into the entrance to the guide rails.
6.
When the cartridge meets resistance, push the two tabs toward each other (E) until the
processor is fully seated.
7.
Reattach the retention module bracket:
With the bracket in an open position (perpendicular to the front of the retention
module), slide the open hinge at the left of the bracket into its receptacle at the left of the
retention module.
Rotate the bracket to the right until it reaches the retention module. With your right
thumb on the face of the bracket and your right index finger around the tab at the right of
the bracket, slightly pull the tab outward and to the left to open the latch at the back of
the tab.
As you open the latch on the back of the tab, slide the right edge of the bracket onto the
retention module and release the tab. If done correctly, the bracket will be securely
latched.
8.
Fit the required power regulation modules, (see next page).
9.
Reinstall the foam cover.
10. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws.
W W A A R R N N I I N N G G
When adding extra processors, the required power regulation modules must be fitted. Do not
attempt to run the system without the correct number of power modules or you risk serious and
permanent damage to the existing modules, the processors or the system mainboard.
