1.11 CPU Installation
The PCA-6166 provides a socket 7 for easy CPU installation. The
CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent
overheating.
Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat
and cause damage to both the CPU and the mother-
board.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the processor socket 7.
1. Make sure the socket 7 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, complete the
following procedure. Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to
the socket and the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds
with the notches on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU
in. It should insert easily. If it does not insert easily, pull the lever
up a little bit more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the
socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side
of the socket.
Note: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a
little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU.
When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings,
such as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings may damage
the CPU.
