Installing a CPU
The M54E2 is designed to support dual Pentium processors. Follow the steps
below to install the main or the second processor:
1. Turn off the computer and remove its cover.
2. Locate the ZIF socket illustrated in Figure 2-1.
3. Lift the lever of the socket.
4. Locate pin 1 on the processor and pin 1 on the socket (Figure 2-1).
Gently place the processor into the socket, making sure pin 1 on the
processor and pin 1 on the socket are aligned.
5. Push the lever down until it locks into place.
6. Make sure the speed selection jumpers are set correctly (see Chapter 2).
7. If you are only installing the upgrade processor, you do not need to
change any jumpers or BIOS settings. The system will automatically
recognize the new processor. NOTE: Make sure the APIC jumper (W42)
is set to Enabled.
NOTE: If your operating system supports dual processors, you may need to
reconfigure or reinstall your operating system. Refer to your software
documentation for more information.
WARNING:
Pentium processors require a heat-sink with a cooling fan. Failure to provide
adequate cooling of the processor may seriously affect system performance
or cause permanent damage to the processor.
