Adaptec SBC-596, SBC-599 manual CPU installation and upgrading, Install a CPU in the ZIF socket

CPU installation and upgrading

You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium processor at any time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.

Warning!	Always disconnect the power cord from your
	chassis when you are working on it. Do not
	make connections while the power is on as
	sensitive electronic components can be
	damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
	experienced electronics personnel should
	open the PC chassis.
Caution!	Always ground yourself to remove any static
	charge before touching the PC board. Modern
	electronic devices are very sensitive to static
	electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap
	at all times. Place all electronic components
	on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-
	shielded bag when they are not in the chas-
	sis.

Install a CPU in the ZIF socket

SBC-599 Series provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for easy CPU installation.

1.Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To raise the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.

2.Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, do the following: Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. If it doesn’t, pull the lever up a little more.
