Install Encore/ST G4 Processor Upgrade Card
1. Remove the Encore/ST G4 processor upgrade card from its
anti-static package; make sure to handle the card by its edges
(Figure 22); your card may differ from what is pictured.
2. Carefully remove the cap covering the connector on the bot-
tom of the Encore/ST processor card (Figure 23), and then place
the cap on the original processor card’s connector.
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, and the fan assembly in
a safe place.
4. Align the connector on the bottom of the Encore/ST card with
the connector on the logic board (Figure 24), and then set the
card down on top of the three threaded posts. Make sure the
connectors are lined up, then, grasping the Encore/ST 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 Encore/ST board; the board
should remain firmly in place.
6. Making sure the Encore/ST card’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 overtight-
en the screws (Figure 25).
