Chapter 4 - Expanding Your System

Installing a New CPU

Caution!

Static electricity can permanently destroy your CPU. Always ground

yourself by touching the system cabinet before beginning the following

procedure. We strongly recommend using an antistatic wrist strap

attached to cabinet ground.

To install a new CPU:

1. Open the case and locate the CPU socket on the mainboard. If you

need help see How to Open a Desktop Case and Mainboard

Diagram, earlier.

2. Lift up the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket arm to the open

position. This will loosen the pressure on the pins of the old CPU

chip. Carefully lift the old CPU and heat sink out of the socket.

3. Important: You must align the new CPU over the socket on the

board exactly like the old CPU. Make absolutely sure the Pin-1

notch on the CPU chip aligns with Pin-1 on the ZIF socket.

4. Place the new CPU into the socket and press gently. Be careful not

to bend any pins on the CPU. Once the CPU is firmly seated in the

socket, carefully lower the ZIF arm back down to the closed

position.

5. Attach the heat sink to the new CPU. If your new CPU is exactly

the same size as your old CPU, you can reuse your old heat sink. If

your new CPU is not the same size as your old one, you must use

the heat sink supplied with your new CPU. If your heat sink is a

peel and stick type, peel off the adhesive layerand stick the heat

sink onto the new CPU. If your heat sink uses a retaining clip,

place the heat sink on the chip, then slide the retaining clip over

the heat sink until it snaps onto the sides of the CPU.
