Install Encore/ZIF Processor Upgrade Card
1.
Remove the Encore/ZIF card from its anti-static package, mak-
ing sure to handle the card by its edges
(Figure 9);
your card may
differ from what is pictured
.
2.
Gently peel the pin protection foam off the Encore card, and
then transfer it to the processor card you removed from the com-
puter. With the foam attached, place the processor card into the
anti-static package and store it and the heat sink, in a safe place.
3.
Turn the Encore/ZIF card so that the narrow end of the card is
pointing toward you, with the pins facing down. Plug the 8-pin
connector from the included power adapter cable into the 8-pin
connector on the Encore/ZIF card
(Figure 10)
;
verify the con-
nector is plugged in securely
.
4.
Grasp the Encore/ZIF card so that the narrow end of the card is
pointing toward you
(Figure 11)
. Holding it level with the logic
board, align the Encore/ZIF card’s pins over the ZIF socket’s holes,
and then carefully lower the Encore/ZIF card into the ZIF socket;
with all the pins aligned, the card will be easy to push into the
socket. If you encounter any resistance, raise the card and check
for bent pins, if none are bent, realign the card’s pins with the
socket and gently lower it again.
Be very careful! Broken pins
are not covered under warranty
.
5.
While applying moderate pressure on top of the Encore/ZIF
card’s heat sink above the ZIF socket, secure the card in place by
pressing down on the ZIF socket lever until it latches under the
socket’s side tab
