NOTE
If using a single processor, it MUST be installed in socket
CPU1. When using a single processor only CPU1 memory
banks are addressable.
TYAN is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported
configuration.
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors
and may not be an exact representation of the processors you have.
Step 1: Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
o
or as far back as
possible to the socket.
Step 2: Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath
the processor to ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
Step 3: Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until
the processor sits flush with the socket.
Step 4: Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place. The
installation is finished.
Repeat these steps for the second processor if you are using two processors.
Take care when installing processors as they have very fragile connector pins
below the processor and can bend and break if inserted improperly.
