Installing Upgrade Cpus - DFI G586VPA User Manual

G586VPB

Installing Upgrade CPUs

The G586VPB is equipped with a 320-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket at location U32 of the system board.
This socket enables you to remove the old CPU and
insert the upgrade CPU easily. If you need to apply
excessive force to insert the CPU, the installation is
being done incorrectly.
Warning:
Open the socket only if actually installing a CPU. The
warranty on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N
seal is broken. Installation of a processor will not affect
the original system warranty.
The 320-pin ZIF socket consists of the four rows of pin
holes on each side. To avoid improper installation, the
ZIF socket is designed with a Plug/Keying mechanism.
There are several holes in the socket that are plugged so
the CPU will only go in one way. If you are unable to
easily insert the CPU, please verify that pin 1 of the
CPU is being plugged into pin 1 of the socket. Pin one is
located as shown on the next page.
Caution:
Before proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the
following. The microprocessor and heat sink may be hot
if the system has been running. To avoid the possibility
of a burn, power the system off and let the processor
and heat sink cool for 10 minutes.
