  • Page 24: Installing Upgrade Cpus

    Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586SPA is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U24 of the system board. Refer to page 12 for the location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU.
  • Page 25 To install an upgrade CPU, do the following. 1. Make sure the handle on the side of the ZIF socket is up. To raise the handle, push it down, slightly pull it out to the side, then raise it as far as it will go. It may be necessary to initially apply a small amount of sideways force to free the handle from its retaining “...
  • Page 26 2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU carefully by lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now ready to insert the new CPU. Pin 1 3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
  • Page 27 4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pres- sure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely closed, damage to the CPU and/or system board may result.
