4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top
plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pres-
sure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will
not damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely
closed, damage to the CPU and/or system board may result.
Installing A Fan/Heatsink for Cyrix CPUs
If you use a Cyrix CPU, you must choose a fan/heatsink which is made
for Cyrix processors. Position the fan/heatsink on the CPU such that the
air from the side of the fan/heatsink will flow across the heat regulators
on the system board. See the figure on the next page.
3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the
CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Lower the chip until the
pins are inserted properly in their corresponding holes. Remember
that very little force is needed to install the CPU. If the CPU is not
easily inserted, verify whether or not pin 1 of the CPU is aligned
with pin 1 of the socket. Applying too much pressure can damage
the CPU or the socket.
