2. Locate the clip securing the processor heat sink to the ZIF

socket

(Figure 24). Carefully insert a small flat blade screwdriver

between the clip and the socket. While pressing down on the
top of the clip with your finger, gently twist the screwdriver until
you see the clip unhook from the ZIF socket tab. Unhook the clip
from the other side of the heat sink, remove the clip and heat
sink from the processor, and then set them aside.

Remove Processor Card

Push down and out on the ZIF socket lever

(Figure 25) to disengage it

from the side tab on the socket. Once the lever is clear of the side tab,
rotate the lever up 90˚. Gently lift the existing processor card up and
out of the ZIF socket.

Install Encore/ZIF Processor Upgrade Card

1. Remove the Encore/ZIF card from its anti-static package, making

sure to handle the card by its edges

(Figure 26); your card may

differ from what is pictured. Gently peel the pin protection foam
off the Encore card, and then transfer it to the processor card you
removed from the computer. With the foam attached, place the
processor card into the anti-static package and store it and the
heat sink in a safe place.

2. Turn the Encore/ZIF card so that the narrow end of the card is

pointing toward you, with the pins facing down. Plug the 8-pin
connector from the included power adapter cable into the 8-pin
connector on the Encore/ZIF card

(Figure 27); verify the con-

nector is plugged in securely.
