Install Encore/ST G4 Processor Upgrade Card
1. Remove the Encore processor upgrade card from its anti-static
package, and remove the packing material. Make sure to handle
the card by the edges (Figure 46). Also, do not touch the thermal
pad covering the processor.
2. Hold the Encore/ST card with its connector face up (Figure 47).
Carefully remove the cap covering the connector and place it on
the original processor card’s connector, then place the original
processor card into the anti-static package and store it in a safe
place.
3. Align the Encore/ST card’s three screw holes with the three
threaded posts on the logic board, then set the card gently on
top of the posts (Figure 48). Make sure the connectors are lined
up, then, grasping the card by its edges, 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 fi rmly in place.
4. Snugly secure the Encore/ST card to the logic board with the
three screws you removed previously; do not overtighten the screws
(Figure 49).
Support Note: You will find a piece of foam covering a con-
nector on the edge of the Encore/ST card. Do not remove the
foam; the connector is not used in this installation.
