Removing the old processor
5. Remove the heat-sink.
• Insert the small screw-driver into the slot on the heat-sink clip.
• Press down and rock the handle of the screwdriver towards the heat-sink fins,
releasing the heat-sink’s clip from the lock tab.
6. Remove the CPU Card.
• Carefully raise the ZIF Socket Release Lever and lift the CPU card from the
socket.
NOTE: A razor is included to clean the bottom of the heatsink.
• Put the used card into MACh Speed anti- static box. If you ever have a problem, it
may be handy to be able to use the old card while troubleshooting the system.
7. Install the MACh Speed ZIF into your system.
• The MACh Speed ZIF Upgrade will face the same direction as the older card that
you just removed (note the missing pin.)
• Holding the card by the edges (do not depress the center of the card), line up
the pins and insert the card straight down. Insertion should require only
minimal force.
• Lower the ZIF Socket release lever to lock the card into the socket.
• Replace the heat-sink on the MACh Speed ZIF card.
• Reattach the heat-sink clip by first “hooking” the end of the clip with the single
hole to the back of the processor socket.
• Press down on the front end of the clip to snap onto the lock tab on the front of
the processor socket
