Installing Upgrade CPUs The G586IPV/E is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket at location U25 of the system board. Refer to page 6 for the location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal of an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. The ZIF socket allows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position. If you need to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the CPU correctly.
Lifting the Handle 2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU carefully by lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now ready to insert the new CPU. 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.
Positioning the CPU Above the ZIF Socket 4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely closed, damage to the CPU and/or system board may result. Installing A Fan/Heatsink for Cyrix CPUs If you are using a Cyrix CPU, you must choose a fan/heatsink which is made for Cyrix processors.
Clearance Requirements Your CPU comes with a heatsink mounted on top. To maintain proper airflow once the upgrade is installed on the system board, the CPU and heatsink require certain space clearances. The clearance above the CPU’s fan/heatsink must be at least 0.4 inches. The clearance on at least 3 of 4 sides of the processor and heatsink must be at least 0.2 inches. All cables (for floppy drive, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc.) must be routed clear of the CPU and its airspace.
