Chapter 2 Installation Guide 13
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.
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.
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.
Warning!
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.
