PROCESSOR UPGRADE

The zero-insertion force (ZIF) socket makes a processor
upgrade easy. The ZIF socket accepts pin-grid-array (PGA)
processors, such as the primary processor or a next
generation processor.

!

CAUTION

Incorrect installation of the processor can damage
the processor, system board, or both. Follow the
installation instructions carefully.

The system requires a heatsink on the processor.
Verify that you have the correct heatsink for the
processor being installed.

Changing the heatsink may result in some
expansion slots becoming useable only for half-
length expansion boards.

When upgrading the processor, first remove the processor
currently installed in the system, then install the upgrade
processor.

Removing the Processor

Remove the processor installed on the system board as
follows.

1.

Remove the system unit cover (see “Removing the
Desktop Cover” or “Removing the Minitower Cover”).

2.

Locate the processor socket (see “System Board
Options”).

3.

Release the heatsink clip from the tabs on the socket (see
the following figure).
