If the computer’s microprocessor is a FQFP type, it is surface-
mounted on the main system board. To add an OverDrive
processor, install it in the empty OverDrive socket and
disable the original microprocessor by setting jumper J23 to
position 2-3. Also make sure
JlO,
J11, and J12 are set correctly.

You need to change the processor speed jumper settings if
you replace a 25 MHz processor with a 33 MHz processor.
Processor Chips
If you have the 4SX/25 or 4DX/33 system, you can install an
Intel OverDrive processor on the main system board to
effectively double the internal clock speed of the computer’s
microprocessor. Alternatively, for the 4SX/25, you can install
the 487SX/25 microprocessor with built-in math coprocessor.

You need to change the processor jumper settings if you
install a new processor chip. The settings for J10, J11, and J12
must correspond to the type of chip installed.
SIMM lnstallation
The computer comes with 4MB of memory installed in a
SIMM socket. To increase the amount of memory in the
computer up to 32MB, you can install 36-bit, fast-page mode
SIMMs that operate at an access speed of 70ns or faster, with
a capacity of 1MB, 4MB, or 16MB.
The following table shows the possible SIMM configurations;
do not install memory in any other configuration. Make sure
that both SIMMs operate at the same speed.
