SYSTEM UPGRADES

6.
Lift the processor out of the socket and place it on an anti-static
surface outside the system unit. Hold the processor by its edges
and avoid touching the metal pins.
Warning
If the processor does not lift easily out of the socket, do
not
attempt to force it.
If the system was in use just before starting this procedure, the processor
will
be hot
, wait 15 minutes for it to cool down.
To fit the upgrade processor:
1.
Ensure that the securing lever on the ZIF socket is still in the
upright position.
2.
Take the upgrade processor out of its anti-static packaging. Hold
the processor by its edges and
avoid touching the metal pins.
3.
The upgrade processor and the ZIF socket are keyed to ensure
that the processor is installed in the correct orientation. One
corner of the socket has a key hole. The corresponding corner of
the processor is slightly bevelled and should have a positioning
guide in the form of a coloured dot.
4. Place the processor in the socket, making sure that it is correctly
aligned and that you do not bend or otherwise damage the pins.
