Remove Processor Card
Remove the three screws securing the processor card to the logic
board
(Figure 8). Grasping its edges, gently lift one edge of the proces-
sor card to separate it from the logic board, and then carefully lift it
straight up and away.
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 9); your card may differ from what is pictured.
2. Carefully remove the cap covering the connector on the bot-
tom of the Encore/ST card (Figure 10), 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, and the screws you removed in a safe place.
4. Align the connector on the bottom of the Encore/ST card with
the connector on the logic board (Figure 11), and then set the
card down on top of the three threaded posts (not shown). Make
sure the connectors are lined up, then, grasping the Encore/ST
card by its heat sink, gently press it straight down until the con-
nectors snap together. Verify the connectors are completely cou-
pled by gently pulling up on the edges of the Encore/ST board;
the board should remain firmly in place.
