3.10 CPU Installation
Several types of CPUs (75 thru 166 MHz) can be used on S1461/3/6.
Please refer to the previous pages for the correct CPU jumper settings for
your board.
* The CPU is a sensitive electronic component and it can be easily
damaged by static electricity. Do not touch the CPU pins with your
fingers.
* When installing the CPU into the socket, match the CPU pins to the
socket pins.
* Before the CPU is installed, the mainboard must be placed on a flat
plane in order to avoid being broken by the pressure of CPU insertion.
*
A cooling fan and heat sink assembly is required to protect the
CPU from being damaged.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is up. To raise the lever, pull it out
to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. The top plate will
slide back.
2. Align the CPU and socket Pin 1 corners. The pins on the bottom
should align with the rows of holes in the socket.
3. Insert the CPU in the socket. It should insert easily. If it does
not, adjust the position of the lever a little.
4. Press the lever down. The top plate will slide foward. You will
feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in
the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the
side of the socket.
