INSTALLING A CPU IN THE ZIF SOCKET
The Intel Socket 7 incorporated in the mainboard specifications, is specially designed for
the Pentium processor. While inserting the Pentium processor onto Socket 7, certain
precautionary steps must be followed. The following diagrams of demonstration and
explanation are worth of your note.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket level is up.
To raise the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. Pin 1 is at
the arm corner.
Pull lever
out & up.
2.Align the CPU and socket pin 1 corners. Match the processor corner containing the
blunt edge and the white dot to the socket corner with the distinctive pin arrangement.
The pins on the bottom should align with the inner 3 rings of holes in the socket, then
place the CPU in the socket. It should insert easily. If it doesn‘t, pull the level up a little
more.
