Hello all,
I just received a request from customer who wants to upgrade
about 15 LPV+ ( FR-741ww-A9) to a 466dx2-66 or to 4100 .
As we never did this kind of the upgrade in the past, I am
asking you help.
What I have found so far is that the main board is the same
for up to FR-746 which is the 486dx2 so I need only
the Intel chip (21-40602-02 ,486dx2-66)
Do I have the chance to install 256 cash ?
Do I need BIOS UPGRADE ? ( I do not know the existing one at this
time)
Any other hints are highly appreciated
Thanking you in advance
Best regards
Thanos

Subj: Intel 486 dx4-100 upgrades to decpc LPV, LPV+, LPX+, MTE
Subject: DX4-100 upgradability
Below is a chart of DECpc systems and DX4 upgradability
system minimum bios revision
-----------------------------------------------------
DECpcLPv DECpc BIOS rev 1.05
DECpcLPv+ DECpc BIOS rev 1.02 (however we recommend v 1.05, the
latest)
Note these systems are 5v only systems !! To upgrade to the DX4 chip,
buy the DX4 upgrade module from digital which plugs into the cpu
socket and contains dx4-100, voltage regulator, and heat sink.
regards,
