When adding a processor, order a Pentium II Xeon processor upgrade kit.
The kit includes the Pentium II Xeon processor, a heat sink, and latches.
The kit includes the Pentium II Xeon processor, a heat sink, and latches.
It is critical that a heat sink be installed on each processor. The Pentium II
Xeon processor overheats and fails if it is not cooled sufficiently. The heat
sink provided with the processor in the system provides all necessary
cooling for the processor.

Note:
If the server has less than
four processors and you are
adding one, then you must
remove the termination

next Slot 2 connector before
you install the new

then you must replace a
processor with a termination
