Upgrading Your Server’s CPU Module
Configuration
Introduction
Installing a higher-performance CPU module or a second CPU module
increases the capabilities of your server. This chapter describes the
configuration guidelines that must be followed prior to upgrading as well
as detailed procedures on removing and installing CPU modules.
Configuration Guidelines
• Use only Digital-supplied CPU modules.
• A CPU upgrade can be done by installing a higher-performance
CPU module.
• The supplied terminator card must be installed in CPU slot 2 when
using a single CPU module configuration.
• Remove the supplied terminator card from CPU slot 2 prior to
installing a second CPU module.
• CPU speed and cache size on a second CPU module must be
identical to the primary CPU module.
• If removing a CPU module from the server, remove the module
from slot 2 and replace with a terminator card.
