PowerLeap™ Installation Guide
Inserting PowerLeap™ in a Standard or 80487SX Socket
1
Align the pins of the processor upgrade with the holes of the socket.
If you are installing the processor upgrade in a 238-pin socket
(socket 3), make sure that the processor is positioned in the center of
the socket. When aligned correctly, one row of empty pin holes will
show on each side.
2
Gently push the processor upgrade into the socket, making sure to apply even
pressure.
3
When the processor upgrade is fully inserted in the socket, make sure the connection
is good by pushing down firmly on each corner.
If you are having difficulty inserting the processor upgrade in the
socket, check the alignment of the pins with the socket holes or
check to see if any pins are bent. If the alignment is not correct or
some pins are bent, remove the processor upgrade, carefully
straighten the pins, and start again.
Inserting PowerLeap™ in a ZIF Socket
For a ZIF socket that has a sidebar lever or a retaining screw, insert the processor upgrade
as follows.
1
Open the ZIF socket by raising the sidebar level or loosening the retaining screw.
2
Align the pins of the processor upgrade with the holes of the ZIF socket, then place
the processor upgrade into the socket. It should not be necessary to use pressure.
