2.5 CPU installation and upgrading

You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium 4 processor at any time. Sim-

ply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and the BIOS will auto

detect the new CPU type and speed.

Warning!

Caution!

AIMB-340F provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for easy CPU

installation.

Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To raise

the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.

Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that

came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, do the following:

Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notch

on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside

of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. If it

does not, pull the lever up a little more.

Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. 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.

AIMB-340F User's Manual

Always disconnect the power cord from your

chassis when you are working on it. Do not make

connections while the power is on as sensitive

electronic components can be damaged by the

sudden rush of power. Only experienced elec-

tronics personnel should open the PC chassis

Always ground yourself to remove any static

charge before touching the PC board. Modern

electronic devices are very sensitive to static

electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at

all times. Place all electronic components on a

static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded

bag when they are not in the chassis.
