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
peripherals 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 System
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:

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.
