This document is a supplement to the warranty information and terms

provided with your Prioris Server.

PowerGrade Options Limited Warranty

PowerGrade option kits are qualified Digital Personal Computer Hardware Options that

are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

This Limited Warranty does not extend to any Product not purchased from Digital or

from an Authorized Digital Reseller. This Limited Warranty also does not extend to

any Product that has been damaged or rendered defective (a) by operation outside the

usage parameters stated in section four entitled Warranty Exclusions and Limitations of

Liability of the Digital Personal Computers Warranty and Service Information

document; (b) as a result of accident, misuse or abuse; (c) as a result of service or

installation by anyone other than Digital, an Authorized Digital Reseller, or an

Authorized Digital Service Provider, or (d) by the use of parts not manufactured or sold

by Digital.

Upon installation in the appropriate Prioris Server, the PowerGrade option will carry

the longer of either a one year Return-to-Digital warranty or the remainder of the

warranty period for the Digital Prioris Server.

Digital warrants that the PowerGrade option you have purchased from Digital, or from

an Authorized Digital Reseller, will function correctly when properly installed in the

appropriate Prioris server if the CPU contained within this kit is within one stepping

(version) of the CPU(s) that originally came with your Prioris Server.

Warranty Exclusions and Limitations of Liability

Installation of a PowerGrade option requires handling and installing a CPU chip, which

must be performed with extreme care to avoid product damage. Therefore, Digital

recommends that the installation of this option be performed by an Authorized Digital

Service Provider.

Please refer to the “Digital Personal Computers Warranty and Service

Information” document provided with your Digital Prioris Server for further

information.

Prioris MX 6200 Server PowerGrade

with Pentium®Pro Chip Upgrade

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this PowerGrade kit. This kit contains all the

components and instructions required to upgrade your CPU configuration from

one to two 200 MHz Pentium®Pro processors with 256KB cache.

Installing this kit may involve updating your system BIOS (Basic Input-Output

System). To do this, you will need to remove any video option card, if installed,

and enable the internal VGA controller. Once the BIOS process has completed

successfully, you can then reinstall any video option card. You must install the

new BIOS before installing your Powergrade kit. This installation guide provides

the necessary details.

Processor Compatibility in a Multiprocessor Environment

Intel and Digital recommend using identical steppings/versions of processors

within a multiprocessor system whenever possible, since these configurations have

received the greatest amount of validation testing. Since it is not possible to

validate every combination of processor steppings, each new stepping of a

processor is fully validated only against the latest stepping. At press time, there

were no known incompatibility issues about mixing CPU steppings in a

multiprocessor system. Please refer to the readme file on the ServerWORKS

Quick Launch CD-ROM to view the latest CPU Compatibility information. If you

have any concerns about processor compatibility within a multiprocessor system,

please contact your local Authorized Digital Reseller for assistance.

Boot the Quick Launch CD-ROM and Create Diskettes

During this procedure, you will create a crisis recovery diskette, BIOS upgrade

diskette, and a System Configuration Utility (SCU) diskette. The Quick Launch

CD-ROM contains the required BIOS, crisis recovery software, and SCU.

1. Power on your server and boot the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM.

Note the version of your system BIOS displayed during the boot process.

2. Select the “Documentation” button, then view the Readme file for CPU

Compatibility issues.

3. From the Quick Launch Main Screen , select the “Installations & Utilities”

button and the Utility tab. Select MX6 is necessary.

4. Insert a DOS-formatted diskette into drive A, and choose “Crisis Recovery

Diskette,” and select Continue.

5. Insert the second diskette into drive A. From the available choices, choose

“BIOS Phlash Diskette,” and select Continue.

6. Insert the third diskette into drive A. Choose “System Configuration Utility

(SCU)” diskette and select Continue.

7. Select the BIOS version that you created in step 5 to create the appropriate

SCU diskette.

8. Select Exit to end Quick Launch and remove the CD-ROM.

Enable the On-Board VGA Controller

If your system has an optional video controller, you will need to remove it and

enable the on-board VGA controller. If you are already using the on-board

controller, skip this procedure and go to “Power Down the Server.”

1. Insert the SCU diskette into drive A and turn on or reset your server. The

diskette should boot automatically.

2. When the SCU title appears, press any key to continue. Afterwards,

follow the instructions on your screen to access the SCU main menu.

3. From the main menu, use the arrow keys to highlight an item and then

press Enter to select it. Press F1 at any time for help about a selection.

4. Select the Advanced Control Group and enable the

Embedded - PCI VGA controller.

5. Select Save and Exit to save this selection.

Power Down the Server

1. Turn off your server.

2. Disconnect any external devices, the ac power cord, and the monitor

power cord.

3. Unlock the security lock on the server.

4. Remove the left side panel by sliding it toward the rear of the server.

5. If present, remove any Video Option Card.

WARNING: You might injure yourself or damage your server if you

attempt to remove the side panel before unplugging the ac and monitor

power cords.
