8: Upgrading the System
Have the vendor’s documentation available to follow instructions for setting the SCSI ID, enabling or disabling termination, installing device drivers when required, and configuring other drive attributes.
If you are installing a internal peripheral device that connects to an expansion card, see the vendor’s documentation for installing the expansion card and required cables. See
“Adding Expansion Cards” on page 82 for details.
Adding Memory
You can add system memory by installing or replacing dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) in the system board's DIMM sockets. For more information:
•
On how to add or replace a DIMM, see Chapter 9, “Servicing the System”.
• On DIMMs, DIMM socket locations, and system memory configurations, see the
System Board Guide.
Upgrading Processors
You can upgrade a single-processor system by installing another processor. As higher-speed processors become available, you can upgrade one- or two-processor systems by replacing the existing processors with faster processors. For more information:
•
On how to add or replace a processor, see Chapter 9, “Servicing the System”
• On processors and processor socket locations, see the System Board Guide.
