November 2004
1.0 Introduction
The AMD Geode™ NX 1250@6W processor
*
and the AMD Geode™ NX 1500@6W processor
**
require only a heatsink and can be used in fanless applications. The AMD Geode™ NX 1750@14W
processor
***
requires a heatsink and a fan for proper cooling. AMD provides an AVC 212BJ0 heatsink
for the Geode NX 1250@6W processor and Geode NX 1500@6W processor, and a Therma-Flo
E1305 heatsink and fan for the Geode NX 1750@14W processor. See
5.0 Heatsink Information
for
heatsink part number information.

The purpose of this document is to provide installation instructions for the AMD Geode NX
processors, their heatsink and, when required, fan.
2.0 Processor Installation
1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever on the side of the socket up to a 90
o
angle.
2. Position the processor directly above the socket such that its marked corner is towards the back
of the socket next to the base of the socket lever, as shown in Figure 2.
3. Carefully insert the processor into the socket until it fits in place. The processor only fits in the
correct orientation.
Note:
DO NOT force the processor into the socket. Using force could bend the
processor pins.
4. When the processor is in place, hold it firmly in the socket while you push down the socket lever
to secure the processor. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
