3 Upgrading the System
This chapter describes upgrading memory and processors, as well as installing expansion
cards, and internal and external SCSI drives in your TDZ 2000 GL2 or ExtremeZ GL2
system.
NOTE See Chapter 1, “Accessing the System,” for instructions on opening the system and
protecting against electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION Follow all warnings and cautions in servicing instructions. If you fail to follow documented,
approved procedures, personal injury and damage to equipment can result.
CAUTION Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of
electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION System memory modules from Intergraph Computer Systems are certified for use with
Intergraph computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable
performance. System memory modules available from other vendors may not function
properly or reliably in your Intergraph computer.
