Installing the TurboChip
The TurboChip 200 processor upgrade is designed to work in Pentium 75, 90,
100, 120, 133, 150, 166, and 200MHz computers. The installation procedure
will differ slightly according to the location of your processor socket. Follow the
steps below to install TurboChip into your computer.
Step 1. Opening the Computer
1.
Set the power switch on the system unit to OFF.
2.
Set all external power switches OFF (i.e. display, printer, etc.).
3.
Disconnect all power cords and cables from the rear of the computer.
4.
Remove the cover from your computer as described in your owner's
manual. Make sure you have room to work. If necessary, place the
computer on a desktop surface that is easily accessible with plenty of
area to work.
Step 2. Locating the CPU
1.
Locate the Pentium CPU chip on your system board or CPU
expansion card. The CPU chip will most likely have a large metal
heatsink attached on top (See Figure 4 on the next page to view a
standard heatsink). Note: some system manufacturers also include a
cooling fan on top of the heatsink.
2.
Make sure the CPU chip is accessible. If the CPU socket is located
under an expansion card, move any full-length adapter cards to other
expansion slots. If no slots are available, place a half-length card in
the slot nearest the CPU socket so that the CPU socket is
unobstructed. If the CPU socket is located under the floppy drive
(e.g., IBM ValuePoint
drive bay for easier installation.
