SQ596
14
ZIF Socket 7 for Central Processing Unit(CPU)
The SQ596 comes with a 321-pin ZIF socket 7 for installing the CPU. The Socket 7 will also
support future Pentium up-grade processors. It is strongly recommended that a heatsink and
CPU cooling fan be used to prevent the CPU from overheating. (Tip) Applying a thermal
jelly between the CPU and the heatsink/fan will furture cool the CPU.
Installation Procedure(CPU)
To install a CPU, remember to take careful precaution against static electric discharge. The
basic procedure is as follows:
IMPORTANT:
You must set jumpers JP7,JP8, JP4 & JP5 to the correct bus frequency
ratio as instructed on page 6-8 of Section 3 .
Turn off your system and disconnect the power source.
Remove the existing CPU from the ZIF socket by pulling the ZIF
lever upwards at a 90 degree angle.
Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as below shown. Use
the notched (white dot) corner of the CPU as your guide. The notch in the corner of
the CPU should correspond with PIN 1 of the ZIF socket (Notice: Pin 1 is the blank
corner of the ZIF socket with one hole missing)
Once the CPU is inserted close the socket’s lever.
WARNING:
Without a fan, the CPU can overheat and will cause damage to both the CPU
and the SQ596 mainboard.
