7.Position the microprocessor so that the pins are aligned with the socket and with the beveled corner 1 on the microprocessor is aligned in the socket as shown.

8.Lower the handle until it is fully in the down position and locked into the socket. This secures the microprocessor in the socket.

9.Remove the cleaning pad from its package and use the cleaning pad to wipe the thermal grease from the bottom of the heat sink.

Notes:

a.The cleaning pad and thermal grease are separate FRUs and are not included with the system board or microprocessor FRUs. These must be ordered separately and shipped along with the FRUs being replaced.

b.Be sure that all of the thermal grease is removed.

Note: 0.01ML is one tick mark on the syringe. If the grease is properly applied, approximately half (0.22ML) of the grease will remain in the syringe.

10.Use the thermal grease syringe to place 16 uniformly spaced dots of 0.01ML each on the top of the microprocessor.

11.Place the heat sink into position on the microprocessor.

12.When tightening the screws that clamp the heat sink, do not overtighten. Tighten the clamp screws evenly by tightening one side some and then the other until they are both snug.

13.Go to “Completing the FRU replacement.” on page 104.

The Lenovo 8088, 8094, 8090, 8087, and 8086 series represent a significant portion of the historical legacy of computing, particularly in the realm of personal computers and microprocessors. Each of these models showcases unique features and technologies that contributed to the evolution of computing during their time.

Starting with the Lenovo 8088, this microprocessor was an enhancement of the earlier Intel 8086, designed primarily for use in IBM-compatible PCs. Its 16-bit processor architecture was notably capable of handling 8-bit data bus interactions, which made it more versatile for various applications. The 8088 had a maximum clock speed of 4.77 MHz, providing sufficient computational power for its time. One of the key features was its support for segmented memory, which allowed for more efficient memory management by dividing memory into segments for code, data, and stack.

The Lenovo 8094, while less commonly mentioned, often refers to IBM’s PS/2 line that utilized advanced features for the time. It supported VGA graphics, a significant improvement in visual output that opened new possibilities for graphical user interfaces. The 8094 also hosted a more sophisticated input/output system that allowed for better compatibility and connectivity with peripherals.

Moving to the Lenovo 8090, this model was part of the PS/2 portfolio, noted for its improved hardware architecture. It provided an upgraded interface for keyboard and mouse, which enhanced user interaction. With further support for high-density floppy disks and better memory access speeds, the 8090 paved the way for more efficient personal computing experiences.

The Lenovo 8087 was an auxiliary processor that brought floating-point arithmetic capabilities to the 8086 series. This coprocessor greatly expanded the computing power of the CPU by handling complex mathematical computations, which was especially useful in engineering and scientific applications. The 8087 allowed for more precise calculations than the basic integer math natively supported by earlier processors.

Finally, the Lenovo 8086, iconic in its own right, was a groundbreaking microprocessor that introduced the x86 architecture. It operated at clock speeds ranging from 5 to 10 MHz and was one of the first to support 16-bit data types fully. Its capabilities shaped software development and computer programming and established a foundation for the PC compatibles we know today.

In summary, the evolution from the Lenovo 8088 through to the 8086 helped shape modern computing paradigms by introducing features that improved performance, efficiency, and user experience, paving the way for the vast technological advancements seen in contemporary computing devices.
