Dell PowerEdge 2200 Systems Microprocessor Replacement
R
eplacing a Microprocessor
In addition to the connector for the primary microprocessor on the system
board, there is a second connector to accommodate a secondary microprocessor.
(In a single-microprocessor system, a terminator card is installed in the second
microprocessor connector.)
The secondary microprocessor must have the same operating frequency as the
primary microprocessor. For example, if the system has a 300-MHz Pentium II
primary microprocessor, your secondary microprocessor must also be a
300-MHz Pentium II microprocessor.
Use the following procedure to install a microprocessor:
1. Enter the System Setup program and check the system BIOS revision.
The BIOS revision must be A05 or higher.
If the system has a BIOS revision lower than A05, follow these steps to
update the BIOS:
a. Insert the BIOS diskette that came in the replacement kit into drive A.
b. Turn on the system.
c. After the system completes the boot routine, follow the instructions on
the screen.
d. After the BIOS has been successfully installed message
appears on the screen, remove the diskette from drive A and follow the
instructions on the screen to reboot the system.
2. Save the EISA Configuration Utility settings to the EISA Configuration
Utility Diskette provided in the replacement kit.
The EISA Configuration Utility must be version D07 or higher to recognize
the 300- and 333-MHz microprocessors. An updated version of the EISA
Configuration Utility Diskette has been included in the replacement kit; use
it instead of the EISA Configuration Utility on the Dell Server Assistant
CD. Follow these steps to save the settings:
a. Insert the EISA Configuration Utility Diskette into drive A and reboot
the system.
b. When the Welcome screen appears press <Enter>. The Main Menu
appears.
c. Select Step 5: Save and Exit, and then follow the online instructions to
save the current system configuration information.
