OVERDRIVE PROCESSOR UPGRADE
The zero-insertion force (ZIF) socket accepts pin-grid-array
(PGA) processors, such as the primary processor or an
OverDrive
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 OverDrive
processor. Verify that you have the correct heatsink
for the processor.
When upgrading the processor, first remove the processor
currently installed in the system, then install the OverDrive
processor.
Removing the Processor
Remove the processor installed on the system board as
follows.
1.
Remove the system unit cover.
2.
Locate the processor socket (see “System Board
Options”).
If any expansion boards are obstructing the socket,
remove the boards.
3.
Release the heatsink clip from the tabs on the socket.
4.
Release the processor by pulling the lever on the socket
away from the socket and as far back as it goes without
forcing.
