21 Installing Upgrade CPUs The 586IVX is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)socket at location U29 of the system board. Refer to page 12 for thelocation of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal ofan old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. The ZIF socketallows ...

22 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 thenew 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 thep...

23 4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as pressurestarts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will notdamage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely closed,damage to the CPU and/or system ...
