Section 1
Upgrading Your System
This section provides instructions onhow to upgrade your system. The following
topics are covered:
• Avoiding electrostatic discharge
• Removing and replacing the system unit cover
• Upgrading the processor
• Upgrading system memory
• Pipeline-burst cache memory
• Adding feature boards
• Adding drives
• Connecting peripherals to the system unit

Upgrading Your System
1–2 3814 9779-000
Preliminary Notes
The following apply to all instructions included in this guide:
• When working on your system unit, and after removing the cover, place the unit
on a stable, static-free surface.
• When screws are used to secure components, partially tighten all of the screws
before completely tightening any one of them. This technique ensures proper
alignment.
• Your system has been designed as a modular assembly. Do not force, bend or
apply excessive physical force when adding components.
• When performing system upgrades, protect all connectors and wiring from
breakage. Do not attempt to stretch the wiring over the metal edges of your
system’s frame.

Upgrading Your System
3814 9779-000 1–3
Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge
All electronic assemblies contain static-sensitive components, and your system can be
damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). The risk is greatest when the unit’s cover is
off, and when components are being removed or added. To minimize this risk, take the
following precautions.
Caution
Avoid producing friction static, which occurs most often when walking on
new or newly cleaned rugs, or on any rug in a low humidity environment.
• While working on the system, wear an antistatic bracelet.
• Keep static-sensitive components (such as processor chips and video
memory chips) in their packages until you are ready to install them.
• Before removing a component from its package, sit down and hold
the package in one hand and touch the metal frame of your unit (a
ground) with the other. Then, take the component out and install it
immediately.
• Handle components by their edges. Avoid touching their leads,
connectors, or contact points.
• If you need to remove a component from the system, immediately
store it in antistatic packaging.

Upgrading Your System
1–4 3814 9779-000
Removing and Replacing the System Unit
Cover
To remove the system unit cover, complete the following steps:
1. Turn the system off. Disconnect the power cord and all peripherals.
2. Place the system unit, with the back panel facing you, on a stable, static-free work
surface.
3. Remove the three screws that secure the cover to the back panel, as shown in
Figure 1–1.
4. Slide the cover straight back until it clears the chassis.
WARNING
Do not run the system unit with the cover off. Operating without a
cover is a safety hazard to you.
The system unit may also short circuit if you run it without a cover.
To replace the system unit cover, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that your system is turned off, and that the power cord and all
peripherals are unplugged.
2. Make sure that your system unit is on a stable, static-free work surface, with the
back panel facing you.
3. Rest the tab (located on the top front edge of the cover) inside the rim of the
chassis, then lower the cover and slide it forward until all parts are flush.
4. Replace the three screws on the back panel.
5. Reconnect the power cord and all peripherals.

Removing and Replacing the Front Panel
To remove the front panel:
1. Turn the system off. Disconnect the power cord and all peripherals.
2. Remove the system unit cover, as described earlier in this section
3. Remove the power and drive cables from each drive.
4. Remove the four screws that attach the front panel to the chassis. See Figure 1–2
for details.

To replace the front panel:
1. Slide the front panel/drive assembly into the chassis until all parts are flush.
2. Replace the four screws that attach the front panel to the chassis.
3. Reconnect the power and drive cables to each drive.
4. Replace the system unit cover, as described earlier in this section.
5. Reconnect the power cords and all peripherals. Turn the system on.
Upgrading the Processor
Your system supports Pentium P54C and P55C processors. The Pentium P54C
operates at 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, or 200 MHz. The Pentium P55C operates
at 166 or 200 MHz. When you ordered your system, you specified the speed and
model of your processor. If you want to upgrade to a faster processor, contact your
Unisys Sales Representative for processor availability.
To upgrade your processor, complete the following steps.

Upgrading Your System
1–8 3814 9779-000
Removing the Old Processor
The CPU is attached to the motherboard by a SAZ (screwdriver actuated ZIF) socket.
A heat sink is attached to the top of the CPU with latch bands. Refer to Figure 1–3 for
details. To remove the old CPU, complete the following steps:
1. Turn the system off. Disconnect the power cord and all peripherals.
2. Remove the system unit cover, as described earlier.
Caution
Protect your system from ESD, as described in “Avoiding Electrostatic
Discharge,“ earlier in this section.
3. Locate the heat sink on the motherboard (see Figure 1–3).
4. As needed, remove any feature cards that block access to the heat sink.
5. Press down and then out on one end of the heat sink latch band until it clears its
keeper.
6. Press down and out on the other end of the latch band until it clears its keeper.
7. Lift the heat sink off the processor.
8. Insert a screwdriver into the indentation on the right side of the SAZ socket, see
Figure 1–3 for details. Gently but firmly swing the end of the screwdriver handle
toward the riser card while steadying the CPU.
9. Remove the processor chip from the socket.
10. Wrap the chip in antistatic material and store in a cool, dry place, in case you need
it later.
