Sonnet Technologies Encore_ZIF Processor Upgrade - Manual (Page 35)

Install Encore/ZIF Processor Upgrade
Card
1. Remove the Encore processor upgrade card
(Figure 17) from the anti-static package,
making sure to handle the card by the edges.
Gently peel the pin protection foam off the
Encore card. Transfer the foam to the G3 pro-
cessor 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 processor
upgrade card, identified as position 1, does not
have a pin (Figure 18).
3. The ZIF socket has a corner without a hole
(Figure 19). Align and lower the Encore card so
that position 1 on the Encore 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.
4. With light finger pressure, hold the Encore level
in the ZIF socket and lower the ZIF socket lever
by pressing down until the lever hooks under
the side tab on the ZIF socket (Figure 20).
