  • Page 4: Introduction

    This section provides instructions you should read before starting the Pentium OverDrive processor installation. On most computers, installing the Pentium OverDrive processor is simple if you carefully follow the directions in your computer owner's manual and in this manual. Before starting the installation process, we recommend you take a few moments to: •...
  • Page 5 Intel includes a Demonstration and Diagnostics Diskette with your Pentium OverDrive processor. The diskette contains two portions: • a demonstration to guide you through the Pentium OverDrive processor installation procedure. • diagnostics to test your Pentium OverDrive processor for proper installation and operation.
  • Page 6 Press e or click OK When the Main Menu appears, select "Installation Demonstration." If instal- lation sounds complicated after viewing the installation demo and after reading through the installation sections of this manual, have a qualified technician install the Pentium OverDrive processor for you.
  • Page 7 Step 2- Ground yourself, then unplug computer and remove cover. To prevent damage from static discharge to the Pentium OverDrive processor and to your computer, touch the metal back or side panel of your computer’s system unit to ground yourself. Then, turn off the computer and any attached equipment (such as a printer), unplug the power cord, and remove the cover from the computer.
  • Page 8 Step 3 - Find the socket in which you will install the Pentium OverDrive processor. The socket in which you install your Pentium OverDrive processor may be on your motherboard or removable processor card, and is near the Intel486 processor. If there is no specific Pentium OverDrive processor socket, you must remove the original processor and install the Pentium OverDrive processor in that socket.
  • Page 9 Pentium OverDrive processor. A Quick Word About Socket Types There are several types of Pentium OverDrive processor sockets. You must determine which socket type you have in order to successfully insert your Pentium OverDrive processor.
  • Page 10 Match your computer's socket layout to one shown in the chart, then proceed to the indicated step in this manual. Possible System Layouts No empty Pentium OverDrive processor socket—go to Step 4. Remove the Intel486 processor and install the Pentium OverDrive processor in the Intel486 processor socket. If...
  • Page 11 Before removing the processor, make note of how its notched corner is oriented in the socket (make a sketch, if necessary). You need to install the Pentium OverDrive processor with exactly the same orientation. Make a sketch to help recall how the original processor is oriented.
  • Page 12 Removing the processor from a socket with no handle Find the chip removal tool in the Pentium OverDrive processor package. The tool resembles a tiny garden rake with a notch in the end of the handle. Removal tool Place the notch at a corner of the processor and insert between the processor and socket.
  • Page 13 Correctly orienting your Pentium OverDrive processor in the socket is crucial to the success of your installation. Note that failure to correctly align your Pentium OverDrive processor may result in damage to the chip or your system. Before inserting the Pentium OverDrive processor into the socket, take a moment to read through this step.
  • Page 14 If your socket has a handle, make sure the handle is completely open by moving it up to a 90° angle. Place the Pentium OverDrive processor into the socket, making sure to match the processor corner with the blunt edge and...
  • Page 15 If your socket does not have a key pin hole corner, refer to the sketch you made in Step 4 to orient the Pentium OverDrive processor correctly.
  • Page 16 Be sure to remove the reinforcement before turning your computer back on. As you press firmly, you should be able to feel the Pentium OverDrive processor slide into place. When the Pentium OverDrive processor is fully inserted, the pins are barely visible, and there is a slight gap between the Pentium OverDrive processor and the socket.
  • Page 17 You may need to set switches, move or install jumpers or both on your computer’s motherboard or removable card to let the computer know you’ve added the Pentium OverDrive processor. See your computer owner’s manual for more information. If your manual does not have a configuration section for the Pentium OverDrive processor, contact your computer manufacturer's technical support group.

  • Page 18: Installation

    When the Main Menu appears, select “Intel OverDrive Processor Diagnos- tics.” If the diagnostic utilities program tells you the Pentium OverDrive processor is not operating correctly or if you do not obtain any performance increase, see the Troubleshooting section to determine possible problems. If you cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact your dealer for assistance.

  • Page 22: Troubleshooting Checklist

    • The cables and cords are attached correctly. • Any boards or cards you removed are reinstalled properly. • If you have installed the Pentium OverDrive processor in a socket with no handle, is the chip fully inserted? Use the removal tool as a measuring device to check the distance between the processor and the socket.
  • Page 23 • Does your computer require you to run its setup program? Check your computer owner's manual or contact your dealer to verify. • Is the fan for your Pentium OverDrive processor functioning? If you installed the software using Windows, check the Fan Monitor icon to ensure the fan is functioning correctly.
  • Page 24 The Pentium OverDrive processor feels hot. • It is normal for the Pentium OverDrive processor to generate heat while operating. Caution: Many chips in your computer, in- cluding the Pentium OverDrive processor, can actually become hot enough to cause mild skin burns if handled after operating for several hours.
  • Page 25 For more informantion, refer to your computer manufacturer or dealer. You receive a message that your Pentium OverDrive processor fan is not functioning correctly. • Is there something blocking the airflow? Check to ensure that the fan is fully seated.
  • Page 26 Your system uses OS/2 Warp or OS/2 2.1 and you are having trouble loading or running the Diagnostics and Demonstration diskette. • To successfully load the Diagnostics and Demonstration diskette, complete the following steps: 1. Modify the C:\config.sys file: a. Invoke the OS/2 system editor, as indicated in the OS/2 system manual.
  • Page 27 Removing the Pentium OverDrive Processor Fan Note that before handling the Pentium OverDrive processor you should be careful to ground yourself by touching the metal on your computer. Limiting your movements during installation reduces static electricity, which can damage the part and your system.
