Upgrading the Indy Workstation CPU

3.

Install the new PROM chip.

Grasp the new PROM chip. Orient the PROM above the socket on
the system board so the end with the semi-circular notch or small,
indented circle on the PROM chip lines up with the notch in the
socket, as shown in Figure 14.

Caution:

Make sure you line up the notch or the small circle on the

PROM chip with the notch in the socket. If you install the PROM chip
backwards, the system will not power on and you will damage the
PROM chip.

Line up all of the pins on the PROM with the corresponding holes
in the socket.
