CPU Powergrade Kit

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Prioris™XL or XLDP Powergrade Kit. These

Powergrade kits contain all the components and instructions required to upgrade

your server to a Pentium®CPU with a speed of either 166 MHz or 200 MHz:

Model Prioris™XL

5166 Prioris™XL

5166DP Prioris™XL

5200 Prioris™XL

5200DP

CPU 1- 166 MHz 2- 166 MHz 1- 200 MHz 2- 200 MHz

Installing this Powergrade kit involves 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.

Tools Needed

• Phillips screwdriver, 1 pt.

• Antistatic wrist strap with grounding clip (provided)

* These kits are used when a Main Logic Board (54-23456) does not meet upgrade specifications; in which

case, a new MLB (54-23984-01) is included in the kit, which requires Digital MCS installation.

Enable the Onboard VGA Controller

Before updating the BIOS, you must remove any video option card and enable the

onboard VGA.

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.

Update Your BIOS

A diskette containing the required BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) software is

included with the Powergrade kit. BIOS is software that is in a nonvolatile read-

only memory (ROM) chip, which is on the main logic board of your computer.

The BIOS has several functions, including initializing hardware and booting the

operating system when the computer is turned on.

You must install the new BIOS before installing your Powergrade kit.

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 front security lock on the server.

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

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.

Remove any Video Option Cards

Before updating the BIOS, you must remove any video option card and use the

embedded PCI VGA controller.

3. At the MS-DOS prompt, type: upgrade

NOTE: You must have an MS-DOS formatted diskette for the

current BIOS and for the upgrade BIOS.

4. At the menu, select "Make Recovery Diskette From Flash."

5. At the menu, select "Flash BIOS from IMAGE File." Press Continue and

select the following:

V208_EN.BIN

Program

The BIOS upgrade procedure will run automatically.

NOTE: DO NOT power down the system once this procedure has

started. If the system loses power, or if at the end of this procedure

the system fails, please refer to the section, "Troubleshooting – Using

the Crisis Recovery Diskette if Necessary."

The system will reboot at the termination of the upgrade procedure.

6. Remove the diskette from Drive A.

Prioris XL and XLDP Server Powergrade Kit

Reset Jumpers on the Main Logic Board

1. As described previously, power down the server.

2. Make sure that the following jumpers, shown in Figure 1, are set to disabled

to prevent any unauthorized update to your BIOS:

J41 BIOS upgrade Disabled (Off)

J50 Boot block update Move the jumper back to the default position

shown in Figure 1 (pin 1 to pin 2).

Powergrade Installation

Remove the CPU Module

1. Place the antistatic wrist strap on your wrist and connect the grounding

clip to a non-painted metal surface of the computer's chassis.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew and remove the CPU module

retaining bracket (Figure 2).

3. Grasping both ends of the CPU module, carefully remove it from the main

logic board and place it on an antistatic surface.
