The IPC912 Series are convenient for your various hardware
configurations, such as CPU (Central Processing Unit), Memory
Module, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe card. The chapter 2 will
show you how to install the hardware. It includes:
2.1 Installing the Processor
The Intel
®
Pentium
®
M Processor is available as a boxed processor for
laptop computers in the micro-FCPGA form factor. Intel recommends
the processor should be installed by a computer professional since this
electronic device may cause serious damage to the installer, system
and processor if installed improperly.
Important Notes Before attempting to install a new processor,
carefully review the documentation that came with your system and
make sure that you will not be voiding your warranty by opening the
computer or replacing your processor.
Instructions:
1. Make sure that your system can accommodate the Intel
®
Pentium
®
M Processor that you want to install. Check for
motherboard, BIOS, and thermal compatibility by using the
manufacturer's documentation for the laptop computer, or by
contacting the vendor if necessary. This processor should only
be installed in systems supporting the Intel
®
Pentium
®
M
Processor.
Important Notes Do not use an Intel
®
Pentium
®
M Processor
in a desktop system and do not use a desktop processor in an
Intel
®
Pentium
®
M Processor notebook. Since these processors
have different electrical specifications, damage to the processor
and system can occur.
2. Obtain access to your processor socket as described in the
documentation for your system.
