Processor Upgrade Procedures
This guide describes five unique server upgrades which may be performed individually to increase server
capability. In addition, two or more upgrade procedures can be performed together to accomplish greater
increases in server capability.
Limitations
All processors within a server must have equal speed and identical cache size. This is best verified by using
processors with identical part numbers.
