G586VPM
Installing Upgrade CPUs
The G586VPM is equipped with two 320-pin Zero
Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets at locations U5 and U10 of
the system board. These sockets enable you to remove
the old CPU and insert the upgrade CPU easily. If you
need to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, the
installation is being done incorrectly.
Warning:
Open the socket only if actually installing a CPU. The
warranty on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N
seal is broken. Installation of a CPU will not affect the
original system warranty.
The 320-pin ZIF socket consists of the five rows of pin
holes on each side. To avoid improper installation, the
ZIF socket is designed with a Plug/Keying mechanism.
There are several holes in the socket that are plugged so
the CPU will only go in one way. If you are unable to
easily insert the CPU, please verify that pin 1 of the
CPU is being plugged into pin 1 of the socket. Pin one
is located as shown on the next page.
Caution:
Before proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the
following. The microprocessor and heat sink may be hot
if the system has been running. To avoid the possibility
of a burn, power the system off and let the processor
and heat sink cool for 10 minutes.
