Installing Microprocessors
Working with Microprocessors
Your server comes with an Intel Pentium II microprocessor. This
microprocessor incorporates MMX technology with built-in ECC L2
cache. For the latest information about microprocessor upgrades
available for your server, contact your IBM reseller or IBM
marketing representative. If you do upgrade the microprocessor,
use the instructions that come with the upgrade along with the
instructions in “Installing or Replacing Microprocessors” on
page 90.
When you install an additional microprocessor, your 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.
Note: The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from
your hardware.
