Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do
not make connections while the power is on
because sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the
PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis.
Removing the CPU
The SBC-776 all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/
Celeron or 586 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the
CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's
PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your
system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing
the new CPU.
Removing a CPU
1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your
chassis.
2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be
difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.
