Installation & Maintenance 4.1.2. Install CPU Remove the top and side cover from the computer as described in 4.1.1.3. on page Remove Bottom Cover Locate the CPU socket on the main board The processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor. Please refer to the pictures step by step as below and note that the cover of the socket must always be installed during transportation to avoid damage to the socket.
The main board has two memory module (DIMM) sockets. Increase memory capacity to make programs run faster on the system. The memory module for the FPC-5211 Series’ SO-DIMM sockets should be a 262-pin DDR5 with a “key notch” off the centre among the pins, which enables the memory module for particular applications.
Page 51
Installation & Maintenance Align the notch on the memory module with the key in the module socket. - 39 -...
Page 52
Installation & Maintenance Pluh the module into place. Once the memory module is fully inserted into the socket, press down on the top edge of the device to latch it into place. This way it’s flat to the laptop’s bottom. The carrier should snap into place with latches.
Page 53
Installation & Maintenance To uninstall a DDR5 memory module: Pull back both latches from the SO-DIMM socket. The DDR5 memory module will be auto-released from the socket. Remove the memory module. Restore the top cover to the computer. - 41 -...
