Installing or replacing microprocessors: This section gives the procedure for installing microprocessors. If you want to remove a microprocessor, reverse the order of the following steps. Notes Read "Safety information" on page 212. Thoroughly review the documentation that comes with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update the server BIOS. ServerGuide includes IBM Update Connector, which keeps the BIOS and device drivers current. You can also obtain the latest level of BIOS for the server through the World Wide Web and the IBM Personal Computer Company Bulletin Board System (BBS). See "Online support" on page iv for the appropriate World Wide Web addresses and bulletin board telephone numbers. For a list of supported operating systems, see http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/netfinity/ on the World Wide Web. Read "Accessing the system board" on page 59. Locate the Flash Utility Diskette that you created in "Remote administration" on page 34. Note If you have not already done so, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/ on the World Wide Web and download the appropriate flash update program. Review the applicable README files, and use this information to create a Flash Utility Diskette. Perform the POST/BIOS (flash) update procedure (see "Remote administration" on page 34 for additional information). Attention: If you select a setting for the frequency switch that is greater than the actual frequency of the microprocessor, you might damage the microprocessor. IBM Netfinity 3000 - Type 8476 131
