Install Encore/ST G4 Duet Processor Upgrade Card

1. Remove the Encore/ST G4 Duet processor upgrade card from

its anti-static package; make sure to handle the card by its edges
(Figure 35); your card may differ from what is pictured.

2. Carefully remove the cap covering the connector on the bottom

of the Duet card, and then place the cap on the original proces-
sor card’s connector

(Figure 36).

3. Place the processor card you removed from the computer into

the anti-static package, and then store it, the original heat sink,
heat sink clips, the screws you removed (except the one with the
lock washer), and the fan assembly in a safe place.

4. Align the connector on the bottom of the Duet card with the

connector on the logic board

(Figure 37), and then set the card

down on top of the three threaded posts. Make sure the connec-
tors are lined up, then, grasping the Duet card by its heat sink,
gently press it straight down until the connectors snap together.
Verify the connectors are completely coupled by gently pulling
up on the edges of the Duet board; the board should remain
firmly in place.

5. Making sure the Duet’s captive screws are engaged properly in

the threaded posts, tighten each of the three screws and secure
the card snugly to the logic board;

do not overtighten the

screws (Figure 38).
