Adding a Processor

To take advantage of the multiprocessor capabilities in Windows NT, you might want to install an additional processor on a computer running Windows NT. The potentially difficult task of adjusting all the necessary settings so that Windows NT can take full advantage of the new processor is made simple with the UpToMP utility included with this resource kit.

To use the utility you must know:

• The drive your Windows NT installation software is on (this can be a distribution share, a CD-ROM drive, or a floppy drive).
• The type of processor you are installing (this information should be included with the processor.

Start UpToMP from the command line or by double-clicking the file in File Manager. Specify the drive that has the installation software in the text box provided, and choose your processor type (HAL) from the combo box. Then choose Continue.
