The design of the VIG556M computer makes it a simple job to replace or upgrade
the processor. To do so please refer to figure 6 and follow the instructions below:
1. The CPU has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before
you have installed the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin. Remove
the cap from lever hinge side. The pins of socket reveal. Lift the load lever up
and open the load plate.
2. The CPU has a cover on the bottom to prevent contact damage.
Rotate it to make the pin 1 indicator (yellow triangle) in the left-bottom
corner. The availability of it depends on the CPU packing.
3. Use 2 hands to remove the cover on the bottom of the CPU (if any). Please
note not to touch the underside of it.
4. Align the pin 1 indicators (the triangles on the CPU).
5. Using your forefinger and thumb place CPU in socket. Being careful not to
move the CPU whilst in the socket.
