2589.0. "cpu and memory questions" by LEMAN::BLANCHUT () Tue May 06 1997 12:38

Hello,

I have some novice questions about alpha2100 4/200
When you do upgrade from 1 to 3 cpu what should you take care of ?
when you add memory board do you need special revisions of board
or firmware or hal ?
If someone known about a pointer to a cook book or something
looking in that way it will be welcome.

Thank for any answer
Patrick

    Adding CPU or memory modules is straightforward and requires no
    excessive brainpower. Typically with memory though you will want to put
    the higher-capacity memory into the lower numbered slots.

    Adding the 3rd CPU module will require a second power supply if the 
    system is a pedestal system. Also, the power supply configuration
    jumper on the SIO module will have to be set to the correct position.
    
    Good references are the SOC, the Service Manual, and the Owner's Guide.
