5-5 Installing Processors

!

Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the pro

cessor package. Always connect the power cord last

and always remove it before adding, removing or

changing any hardware components.

1.Installing the FCPGA processors:

The 370SSR+ /370SSE+has one 370-pin socket, which support Intel Pentium III FCPGA and Celeron FCPGA/PPGA processors. Lift the lever on the FCPGA socket and insert the processor (with the heat sink attached) keeping the notched corner oriented toward pin one on the socket. Make sure the processor is fully seated in the socket and and then close the lever.(See Figure 5-4 for views of a 370-pin FCPGA socket before and after processor installation.)
