Installing a CPU
The M6Me is designed to support dual Pentium Pro
processors. Follow the steps below to install the main or
second processor:
1. Turn off the computer and remove its cover.
2. Locate the ZIF socket illustrated in Figure 2-1.
3. Lift the lever of the socket.
4. Locate pin 1 on the processor and pin 1 on the socket
(refer to Figure 2-1).
Gently place the processor into
the socket, making sure pin 1 on the
processor and
pin 1 on the socket are aligned.
5. Push the lever down until it locks into place.
6. Make sure the speed selection jumpers are set cor-
rectly (refer to Chapter 2 - Jumper Settings).
7. If you are only installing the upgrade processor, you
do not need to
change any jumpers or BIOS settings.
The system will automatically
recognize the new
processor.
NOTE: If your operating system supports dual processors,
you may need to reconfigure or reinstall your operating
system. Refer to your software documentation for more
information.
WARNING: Pentium Pro processors require a heat-sink
with a cooling fan. Failure to provide adequate cooling of the
processor may seriously affect system performance or cause
permanent damage to the processor.
