  • Page 20: Installing Upgrade Cpus

    Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586VSY AIO is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U13 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 21 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 “...
