Sonnet Technologies Encore_ZIF Processor Upgrade - Manual (Page 101)

Remove Processor Card
To unlatch the ZIF socket lever (Figure 5), push the
lever down and then out to clear the side tab. Once
the level is clear of the side tab, rotate the lever up
90˚. Gently lift the existing processor card up and
out of the ZIF socket.
Install Encore/ZIF Processor Upgrade
Card
1. Remove the Encore processor upgrade card
from the anti-static package, making sure to
handle the card by the edges (Figure 6). Gently
peel the pin protection foam off the Encore/ZIF
card. Transfer the foam to the processor card
you removed from the computer. With
the foam attached, place it into the anti-static
package and store it in a safe place.
2. Notice that one corner of the Encore/ZIF
processor upgrade card, identified as position 1,
does not have a pin (Figure 7).
3. The ZIF socket has a corner without a hole
(Figure 8). Align and lower the Encore/ZIF card
so that position 1 on the Encore/ZIF matches
with the corner of the ZIF socket without the
hole. If you encounter any resistance, raise
the card and check for bent pins; then,
realign the card over the socket and gently
lower it again. Be very careful! Broken pins
are not covered under warranty.
