Microprocessors
The server comes with an Intel Pentium II microprocessor.
This microprocessor incorporates MMX technology with
built-in ECC L2 cache. If you do upgrade the
microprocessor, use the instructions that come with the
upgrade along with the instructions in “Installing or
Replacing Microprocessors.”
When you install an additional microprocessor, the Netfinity
3500 server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and
application programs can distribute the processing load
between microprocessors. This can enhance performance
for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated
manufacturing solutions, and other applications.
The voltage regulator function is built into the system
board. This feature supports each microprocessor on the
system board. If you install a second microprocessor, it
must operate at the same voltage as the primary
microprocessor to ensure proper operation of the voltage
regulator feature.
Installing or Replacing Microprocessors:
Use the
following procedure for installing microprocessors. If you
want to remove a microprocessor, reverse the order of the
following steps.
