CPU Installation
The system board is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket (see page 8 for socket location). This
socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy
insertion of an upgrade CPU. If you need to apply excessive
force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the CPU
correctly.
Warning:
Open the socket only if you are actually installing a CPU.
The warranty on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N
seal is broken.
Do not change any factory CPU speed jumper settings. You
do not need to change any jumpers to properly install the
3.3V Pentium Upgrade Processor.
Before proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the
following. The microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if
the system has been running. To avoid the possibility of a
burn, power the system off and let the processor and heat
sink cool for 10 minutes.
The 321-pin ZIF socket consists of five rows of pin holes on
each side. To prevent improper OverDrive Processor
installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying mechanism.
Several holes in the socket are plugged so that OverDrive
Processors will go in only one way. If you cannot easily
insert the OverDrive Processor, verify that pin 1 of the CPU
is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Be extremely careful to
match pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Only Intel's
OverDrive Processor is keyed to prevent improper placement
in the ZIF socket. Other Intel CPUs, as well as CPUs from
other vendors, can be placed incorrectly and will be
permanently damaged if incorrectly placed. Usually, pin 1 of
the CPU is marked by a dot or a cut corner.
