Install The Processor - Intel YM430TX User Manual

3. Install the Processor.

The motherboard provides a 321-pin ZIF Socket 7 that is backward compatible with
ZIF Socket 5 processors. The processor that came with the motherboard should
have a fan attached to it to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase
and install a fan before you turn on your system.
To install a processor, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the
ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upward to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as
shown. Use the notched corner of the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The
white dot should point toward the end of the lever. Notice that there is a blank area
where one hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holes, and a "1"
is printed on the motherboard next to that corner. Because the CPU has a corner pin
for three of the four corners, the CPU will fit in only one orientation as shown. The
picture is for reference only; the processor fan covers the face of the processor. With
the added weight of the fan, no force is required to insert the processor. Once the
processor is completely inserted, hold down on the fan and close the socket's lever.
IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers for "CPU to Bus Frequency Ratio" and jump-
ers for "Bus Frequency Selection" depending on the processor that you install.
