Processor Upgrade Kit for 800 MHz systems or the AB474A Processor Upgrade Kit for 1 GHz systems. The

kits are similar and contain the following:

•Read me first

• Upgrade key request form

• System upgrade license certificate

• License number label

• Documentation CD

Preparation

You must complete the following preparations one to three days before the upgrade is to take place. This

procedure requires you to obtain information from HP.

Step 1. Verify the contents of the upgrade kit with the packing list. Resolve any discrepancies before

continuing.

Step 2. Locate the system serial number and copy it onto the label provided in your upgrade kit. The

system serial number can be found in two places:

• On the left of the front bezel, locate a removable pull tab. A label containing the system serial

number is on the reverse side of the pull tab.
