1.

Locate the pin 1 indicator on the PENTIUM processor
chip. This is usually indicated by a small black dot or a
diagonal notch on one corner of the chip.

2.

Place the chip into position so that the pin one indicator is
properly aligned with socket.

3.

Once the pin 1 orientation is confirmed, gently press
down the Pentium processor chip so that it sits flat on the
ZIF socket.

4.

The crystal oscillator Y2 (near the cache module) should
be 60MHz/66MHz depending on the Pentium speed.
However, the 60MHz crystal can be used for the Pentium
60/66MHz chip.

Color or Mono Video Selection

Jumper J3 is used set the type of video adapter. The jumper placed
over the two pins (closed), indicates a color video adapter is in-
stalled.

The jumper removed (open), indicates a monochrome

adapter is installed. If both a color and mono adapter are installed,
place the jumper in the position to indicate which video adapter will
be the primary video adapter.
