Upgrading the Processor

You can upgrade your processor with a more powerful one to
improve system performance; see Appendix A for a list of
compatible processors.

If you’re not sure how to install a processor, contact the EPSON

Connection or your Authorized EPSON Servicer and ask for
assistance.

Follow these steps to replace a processor:

Use the illustration under “Locating the Internal

Components” to locate the processor on the system board.

The processor is installed in a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)

socket.

Caution

Make sure you ground yourself by touching the metal

surface on the inside of the computer’s back panel before

you touch the processor. Then remain as stationary as

possible while you install it. Do not touch the pins on the
processor; handle it only by the edges.
