Explanation

Industry Standard Architecture - Student Guide 2 - Pages 163/164: Processor compatibility The new processor must be physically compatible with the processor slot on the system board. A requirement for multi-processor systems is compatibility of the new processor with the existing Operating system update or reconfiguration On a multi-processor server, the operating system must be capable of handling more than one processor. If the OS version does not support more than one processor, it must be updated to a version that does support multiple processors. It usually is necessary to update the system BIOS to support the increased speed or cache size of a new processor. Once again, it is necessary to check the documentation provided by the server manufacturers, who often provide new BIOS versions on their web sites.
