IntelliStation M-Pro - Second Microprocessor Installation

  Be sure to perform a backup of the hard disk before you add a second microprocessor.

•  If you did not perform the following steps in the proper order, your computer might be unusable after you have installed a second microprocessor.
•  You must run the ADDCPU.EXE utility program before you install the second Intel® Pentium® II microprocessor.
•  You do not have to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0. The ADDCPU.TXT file and this document both contain the required steps.
•  Use this procedure to install a second microprocessor. If you are replacing or upgrading the  existing microprocessor, see the documentation supplied with your computer for instructions.
•  Refer to 'Updating System Programs' in the documentation supplied with your computer to  download and install the current Flash BIOS Update program for your computer.

1.  Verify the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD-ROM Version 1.1 (PN 10L9150) supplied with your computer.
   •  IntelliStation M Pro (Type 6889) - Version 1.1 or later
   •  IntelliStation M Pro (Type 6898) - Version 1.1 or later

    If you do not have this version of CD, download the latest version of the ADDCPU.EXE  file from the World Wide Web at:

   http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/files.html.

    When instructed to run ADDCPU.EXE, use either the downloaded file or run it from the  Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD. The ADDCPU.EXE utility program can be run from Windows  NT Explorer, the Start menu, or a command window.

2.  Determine if your computer has IBM-installed Windows NT by performing the following steps:
   1.  Using the right mouse button, click on My Computer.
   2.  Using the left mouse button, click on Properties.

    If the following message is displayed on the screen, you have IBM-installed Windows NT:

     Manufactured and supported by IBM
   
   

    If your computer does not indicate Manufactured and supported by IBM use Procedure B.
    If your computer does indicate Manufactured and supported by IBM continue with Step 3 to  determine which Service Pack is installed.

3.  Determine which Service Pack is installed on your computer by performing the following steps:
   1.  Using the left mouse button, double-click on My Computer.
   2.  Click on Help.
   3.  Click on About Windows NT.

    If the following message is displayed on the screen, you have Service Pack 3 installed:

     Version 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 3)
   
   

    If your computer does not indicate Service Pack 3 use Procedure B
    If your computer does indicate Service Pack 3 continue with Step 4 to determine if the C:I386 folder  (directory) exists.

4.  Determine if the C:\I386 folder (directory) exists by performing the following steps:
   •  Using the left mouse button, double-click on My Computer.
   •  Double-click on the C: drive. For example: IBM_PRELOAD(C:)
   •  Look for the I386 directory.

Procedure A

Use this procedure only if you DO HAVE IBM-installed Windows NT and have Service Pack 3 and have the C:\I386 directory.

1.  Run ADDCPU.EXE and read the displayed instructions, then click on OK. You might receive a  message about a Service Pack having been installed. Click on Yes to continue.

2.  Attention: In this step, be sure to select the path correctly.
    If you select the wrong path, your computer might be unusable after it is restarted.

    From the Location of the Windows NT Files window, under Drives:, click on the C: drive. For  example, C:IBM_PRELOAD then under Directories:, double-click on I386. Click on OK.

3.  When ADDCPU.EXE has completed (ADDCPU.EXE finishes silently if there are no errors) shut down  Windows NT, turn off the computer, and install the second microprocessor. See the documentation  supplied with your computer for more information.

   NOTE: For the IntelliStation M-Pro (Type 6898) computer, see below 'Installing the Air Baffle on IntelliStation M-Pro'

4.  Turn on the computer. The Configuration/Setup Utility program runs automatically after the computer  is restarted. You will receive a 162 error message, but this is normal. Exit the configuration program  to continue. When Windows NT starts, it automatically recognizes and uses the second  microprocessor.

Procedure B

Use this procedure if you DO NOT HAVE IBM-installed Windows NT, DO NOT HAVE Service Pack 3, or DO NOT HAVE the C:\I386 directory.

1.  If you have not already done so, determine which Service Pack is installed on your computer by  performing the following steps:
   1.  Using the left mouse button, double-click on My Computer.
   2.  Click on Help.
   3.  Click on About Windows NT.

    If the following message displayed on the screen, note which Service Pack is installed:

     Version 4.0 (Build 1381 : Service Pack?)
   
   

    If the message states Service Pack 1 skip Step 2 and go directly to Step 3. Otherwise, continue  with Step 2.

2.  If you do not have the Service Pack CD, that matches the Service Pack on your computer, download it from the  World Wide Web at:

   http://www.microsoft.com/support/winnt

3.  Run ADDCPU.EXE and read the displayed instructions, then click on OK.
    If you receive a warning message about a Service Pack having been installed, then click on Yes to continue.

4.  Insert the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0  CD into the CD-ROM drive.

   Attention: In this step, be sure to select the path correctly. If you select the wrong path, your  computer might be unusable after the second microprocessor is installed.

    From the Location of the Windows NT Files window, under Drives:, click on the CD-ROM which  corresponds to the drive in which you inserted the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 CD. Then,  under Directories:, double-click on I386. Click on OK

5.  When ADDCPU.EXE has completed (ADDCPU.EXE finishes silently if there are no errors) DO NOT  shutdown WindowsNT or restart the computer yet. If your computer has Service Pack 1 installed, skip Step 6 and go to Step 7.  Otherwise continue with Step 6.

6.  Run UPDATE.EXE from your Service Pack CD or, if you downloaded a Service Pack from the World  Wide Web, run its install program (for example: NT4SP3_I.EXE).

   Attention If the following message appears, click on No. Selecting Yes.  cause your computer to be unuseable after it is restarted.

     This file has been identified as an OEM installed file.
   
     Would you like to overwrite the version of the file
   
     on your system with the Service Pack version?
   
   

    Follow the Service Pack installation instructions and wait for the Service Pack program to complete.

7.  When the program has completed, shut down Windows NT, turn off the computer, and install the  second microprocessor. Refer to the documentation supplied with your computer for additional  information.

   NOTE: For the IntelliStation M-Pro (Type 6898) computer, see below 'Installing the Air Baffle on IntelliStation M-Pro'

8.  Turn on the computer. The Configuration/Setup Utility program runs automatically after the computer  is restarted. You will receive a 162 error message, but this is normal. Exit the configuration program  to continue. When Windows NT starts, it automatically recognizes and uses the second  microprocessor.

Installing the Air Baffle on IntelliStation M Pro (Type 6898)

Air baffle installation is required for the IntelliStation M-Pro (Type 6898) computer only.

1.  Position the air baffle as shown below, and attach it to the metal bar.
2.  Rotate the air baffle toward the microprocessor, then slide it to the rear along the metal bar.
3.  Align the two latches on the air baffle so that they extend through the holes at the rear of the  computer. Press the latches down while pushing the baffle to the rear until it snaps into position.
    Make sure the large latch is attached to the metal bar.
