This document provides procedures for upgrading the Intel®Pentium®II or III

microprocessors with either Intel Pentium II or Pentium III microprocessors in the

following Dell PowerEdge systems:

PowerEdge 1300

PowerEdge 2300

PowerEdge 4300

PowerEdge 4350

Installing one or more microprocessors in your server may involve the following

activities:

Verifying the basic input/output system (BIOS) revision and saving the current

configuration data

Accessing the system board (see your system’s Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide)

Replacing the system board mounting plate or tray (PowerEdge 2300 and 4300)

Installing the upgrade microprocessor

Installing the cooling shroud (if applicable)

Reassembling and checking the system

The upgrade procedure requires a #2 Phillips screwdriver. In addition, you should use

a wrist grounding strap for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Read the safety

instructions in the following section.

1-2 Dell PowerEdge Systems —Microprocessor Upgrade

The contents of your kit will vary, depending on the PowerEdge system and the

number of microprocessors you are installing. Each kit will have one or more new

Pentium II or Pentium III microprocessor(s), diskettes containing the Resource

Configuration Utility (RCU), BIOS, embedded server management (ESM) firmware,

and diagnostics. Also included, for some system models, is a cooling shroud and

mounting hardware or a replacement system board mounting plate or tray.

Before you perform any of the procedures in this document, take a few moments to

read the following warning for your personal safety and to prevent damage to the

computer system from ESD.

$%&(%- %'%*.*(-/'%(0

1 '2

Before you start to work on the computer, perform the following steps in the

sequence listed:

1. Turn off your computer and any devices.

2. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as

the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before

touching anything inside your computer.

While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer

chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.

3. Disconnect your computer and devices from their power sources. Also, discon-

nect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop,

not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if

you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before

disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned

to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make

sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or

contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

Hold a component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

If your system has two microprocessors installed, the secondary microprocessor

must be the same type and have the same operating frequency and cache size as the

primary microprocessor. For example, if the system you are installing has a

500-megahertz (MHz) Pentium III primary microprocessor, the secondary

microprocessor must also be a 500-MHz Pentium III microprocessor.

To upgrade to Pentium II or Pentium III microprocessors in the PowerEdge 1300, per-

form the following steps:

1. Access the system board, which involves the following steps:

a. Disconnecting power and peripheral cables.

b. Removing the covers.

c. Rotating the power supply.

See your system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.

2. Remove the microprocessors.

See “Removing the Microprocessors”, found later in this document.

support.dell.com Dell PowerEdge Systems —Microprocessor Upgrade 1-5

3. Remove and replace the guide brackets.

See “Removing and Replacing the Guide Brackets”, found later in this

document.

4. Remove the cooling shroud.

See “Removing and Replacing the Cooling Shroud”, found later in this

document.

5. Install the upgrade microprocessor.

See “Installing the Upgrade Microprocessors”, found later in this document.

6. Replace the cooling shroud.

See “Removing and Replacing the Cooling Shroud”, found later in this

document.

If the upgrade kit comes with a new cooling shroud, you must install the new

cooling shroud. See “Installing a New Cooling Shroud”, found later in this

document.

7. Reassemble and check the system, as follows:

a. Rotate the power supply back into position, making sure that the securing

tab snaps into place.

b. Replace the covers and front bezel. Reconnect your computer and peripher-

als to their power sources and turn them on.

As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new microprocessor

and automatically changes the system configuration information in the Sys-

tem Setup program.

NOTE: After you remove and replace the cover of a PowerEdge 1300 system,

the chassis intrusion detector causes the following message to be displayed at

the next system start-up:

ALERT! Cover was previously removed.

c. Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the top line in the system

data area correctly identifies the installed microprocessor(s). By default, the

serial numbers of Pentium III microprocessors are not displayed. See the

procedures in “Using the System Setup Program”in your User's Guide for

accessing and modifying entries in the System Setup screens.

d. Reset the chassis intrusion detector while in the System Setup program by

changing Chassis Intrusion to Not Detected.

NOTE: If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your

network administrator for information on resetting the chassis intrusion detector.

e. Run the Dell Diagnostics to verify that the new microprocessor is operating

correctly.

See your User’s Guide and your computer Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide for additional information on running the Dell Diagnostics and

troubleshooting any problems that may occur.

NOTES: If you are installing a 600 MHz (or greater) microprocessor in your

PowerEdge 2300, the system board mounting plate must be replaced. A replacement

mounting plate is provided with the upgrade kit.

If you are upgrading a PowerEdge 2300 with one or two microprocessors with an

operating frequency less than 600 MHz, you do not need to replace the system board

mounting plate.

1. Access the system board, which involves the following steps:

a. Disconnecting power and peripheral cables.

b. Removing the covers.

c. Removing the front bezel.

d. Removing the cooling fan shroud.

e. Replacing the system board mounting plate or tray. Applies only when

installing 600 MHz or greater microprocessors.
