Gateway 7450R Manuel D’Utilisation

          Gateway 7450R Server System Manual

The system is compatible with the Intel

®

 Pentium

®

 III 866 MHz and faster 

processors with 133 MHz front-side bus (FSB). As many as two processors may 
be installed in the system. You do not need to install additional voltage 
regulator modules (VRMs), because the VRMs for both processors are built into 
the system board.

The server uses different heat sinks for the primary and secondary processors. 
When ordering a replacement or upgrade processor, make sure that you order 
the correct processor kit for the processor you are installing. The primary 
processor, located closer to the front of the server, uses a smaller heatsink. 
The secondary processor, located closer to the back of the server, uses a larger 
heatsink.

When replacing a processor, order a processor upgrade from The Accessory 
Store on the Gateway Web site.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all other external 
peripheral devices.

Open the case. See “Opening the case” on page 18 and “Preventing static 
electricity discharge” on page 17.

Locate the primary processor, see “System board” on page 6 for the 
location of the system board components.

A heatsink must be installed on each processor. Installing 
a processor without a heatsink could result in damage to, 
or failure of, the processor.
