Chapter 3: Installing the W6-LI

Installing a CPU

The W6-LI is designed to support dual Pentium Pro processors. Follow the steps below to install the main or second processor:

1.Turn off the computer and remove its cover.

2.Locate the ZIF socket illustrated in Figure 2-1.

3.Lift the lever of the socket.

4.Locate pin 1 on the processor and pin 1 on the socket (refer to Figure 2-1). Gently place the processor into the socket, making sure pin 1 on the processor and pin 1 on the socket are aligned.

5.Push the lever down until it locks into place.

6.Make sure the speed and the voltage selection jumpers are set correctly (refer to Chapter 2 - Jumper Settings).

7.If you are installing a second processor, you do not need to change any jumpers or BIOS settings. The system will automatically recognize the new proces- sor.

When installing a second processor, a VRM module must be installed into header J1. In addition, the second processor must have the same speed rating and cache amount as the main processor.

WARNING: Pentium Pro processors require a heat-sink with a cooling fan. Failure to provide adequate cooling of the processor may seriously affect system performance or cause permanent damage to the processor.

NOTE: If your operating system supports dual processors, you may need to reconfigure or reinstall your operating system. Refer to your software documentation for more information.
