Upgrade Procedures
Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer
case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified
engineer can perform the upgrade.
Steps to take to prevent static discharge:
1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your local
electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static charge will
be harmlessly bled to ground.
2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you are
about to install it.
3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.
NOTE: We recommend that you return your computer to the service
department for upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed.
Upgrades should only be carried out by persons who are familiar with
handling ic's, as incorrect installation will invalidate the guarantee.
3.2.1 Upgrading the CPU
CAUTION!
Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed
by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not be
lit. Failure to do so could damage the processor and the board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Unlatch the processor socket lever by pushing it down and away from the socket.
