  • Page 23: Cpu Installation

    G586SP/G586SP AIO CPU Installation The system board is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (see page 8 for socket location). This socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. If you need to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the CPU correctly.

  • Page 24: Installation Procedure

    G586SP/G586SP AIO Installation Procedure To install a 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. The top plate will slide back.
  • Page 25 G586SP/G586SP AIO 3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Lower the chip until the pins are inserted properly in their corresponding holes. Remember that very little force is needed to install the CPU.
