Installing Upgrade CPUs
The C586HX is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
socket at location U27 of the system board. Refer to page 12 for the
location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal of
an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. The ZIF socket
allows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position. If you need
to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the
CPU correctly.
Warning:
Open the socket only if you are actually installing a CPU. The warranty
on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N seal is broken. Before
proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the following. The micropro-
cessor and heatsink may be hot if the system has been running. To
avoid the possibility of a burn, power the system off and let the proces-
sor and heatsink cool for 20 minutes.
The 321-pin ZIF socket consists of five rows of pin holes on each side.
To prevent improper CPU installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying
mechanism. Several holes in the socket are plugged so that the CPU
will go in only one way. If you cannot easily insert the CPU, verify that
pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.

To install an upgrade CPU, do the following:
1. Make sure the handle on the side of the ZIF socket is up. To raise
the handle, push it down, slightly pull it out to the side, then raise it
as far as it will go. It may be necessary to initially apply a small
