- Page 3 The system control program (BIOS) in some computers doesn't support the higher speed of the Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology. You must update an incompatible BIOS before installing the processor. Failure to update your incompatible BIOS will cause your computer to lock up after installation.
- Page 4 Warning: Danger to equipment! The Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology can be damaged by static discharge. Before handling the Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology, be sure to ground yourself by touching the metal on your computer. Limiting your movements during installation reduces static electricity.
- Page 5 Step 4—Find the computer's Pentium processor. Find the Pentium processor in the computer. The Pentium processor in most computers looks like the following: Pentium processor PC-3785 Some computers have a power cable attached to the Pentium processor's fan or have a passive heat sink (which may be attached with a clip) on top of the Pentium processor .
- Page 6 (with handle) Handle If the socket in your computer doesn't have a handle, Intel strongly recommends that you have a qualified professional install the Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology rather than installing it yourself. Some computers use a socket without a handle, called a low insertion force (LIF) socket.
- Page 7 6 now. You do not need the fan, fan cable, or clip to install the Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology. After removing these parts, store them with your original processor.
- Page 8 Removing the heat sink clip If the heat sink is clipped to the socket, remove the clip by pressing down and unfastening it from the tab on the socket. Be sure to hold your hand over the clip while unfastening it to prevent it from flying loose. Heat sink clip Heat sink surrounds fan and...
- Page 9 Some manufacturers use thermal grease to attach the heat sink to the processor. Thermal grease is a conductive material and can damage your computer if it gets on socket pin holes, processor pins, or other components. Avoid getting thermal grease residue on your hands or the computer when you remove the heat sink from the processor.
- Page 10 Correctly orienting your Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology in the socket is crucial to the success of your installation. The Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology fits in the socket only one way. Incorrectly aligning your Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology can damage the processor and your computer.
- Page 11 Step 8—Close the socket handle. Close the socket handle to lock the OverDrive processor with MMX technology in place. Once it is locked in place, the OverDrive processor with MMX technology should fit snugly in the socket. Step 9—Replace the cover, plug in the computer, and turn it on.
- Page 12 If you don't see increased performance, or if you have difficulty getting the computer to run successfully, see the "Troubleshooting" section to determine possible problems. If you still need help, contact your dealer. Installation of your Intel Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology is complete.
