Changing the Processor{xe "Processor"}{xe "CPU"}
The Intel® processor in your computer is installed into a 242-contact slot connector on
the motherboard. Processor modules are available in three packages:
•
the Single Edge Processor (S.E.P.) package
•
the Single Edge Contact Cartridge (S.E.C.C.)
•
the Single Edge Contact Cartridge 2 (S.E.C.C.2.).
Each module includes processor and the cache memories, and connects to the rest of
your computer via a 100MHz system bus.
If you are installing a processor of a different speed from the one currently installed,
you need to set the processor speed using the
Maintenance
menu of the Setup program;
see page 73 for details.

The processor module and heatsink will be hot if the computer has been

to cool after turning off the computer.
1. Follow the instructions on page 40 to remove the system cover.
