Figure 1-1. Power Configuration Jumper Location Processor Upgrades If you add one or more processors to your system, ensure that all processors have the same stepping value and the same cache size and technology. If you install processors with different speeds, they will operate at the speed of the slowest processor. You must install all voltage regulator modules (VRMs) included in the upgrade kit, in addition to the processors. See "Processors" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for details on installing processors and VRMs. Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 Expansion-Card Slot Restrictions If you add an Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 to a system running the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating system, and a Dell™ Remote Access Controller 4/P (DRAC 4/P) card is installed in expansion-card slot 7, the Adaptec 39160 card must be installed in expansion-card slot 2. Memory Test at System Start-Up The System Memory Testing option in the System Setup program is disabled by default. If the option is enabled, the system memory is tested at each system startup. Systems with large memory configurations may take more time to complete the memory test. See your User's Guide for information on the System Setup program. Information Update 5
