Hi
Did you receive a
VRM with the the PRC upgrade kit? And have you installed it?
The following items are/should be included in a microprocessor upgrade kit:
• A microprocessor (PRC)
• A heat sink
• Heat-sink retention clip(s)
• A voltage regulator
module (VRM),
Your upgrade kit may also include a cooling fan.
If you are adding a secondary microprocessor, examine the
VRM to ensure that it is the correct
VRM for your system. Install the
VRM in the appropriate secondary
VRM connector, ensuring that the latches at each end of the connector engage. If you received two
VRMs with the upgrade kit, replace the primary
VRM already installed in the system with one of the
VRMs from the upgrade kit.
Note: The system does not support mismatched
VRMs.
