Installing a Processor

Figure 5-7 illustrates the location for the optional Pentium processor in your system. When adding a second processor, use the same type and speed as the processor shipped with your system. Contact your sales representative.

Notice: Installing a second processor that is of a different type than the first processor, will result in system damage. Do not touch or bend the processor's exposed pins.

The processor upgrade kit contains a DC to DC converter board, processor chip, and heat sink. The heat sink has a heat transfer pad on the bottom and two attached retention clips. To install the second Pentium Pro processor upgrade kit:

1.Remove the processor board as described earlier in this section.

Notice: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap.

2.Raise the lever on the ZIF socket to the up position (Figure 5-7, A).

3.Position the processor (C) over its ZIF socket(B) so that the processor pins align with the socket holes. Note that the pins get denser as they get closer to the lever on the ZIF socket.

4.Insert the processor pins into the socket. Apply pressure equally over the top surface of the processor until it seats in the socket. The processor should easily fit, do not force the processor into the socket.

5.Push ZIF socket lever (G) down until it snaps into the locked position.
