Installing the Math Coprocessor

You can enhance your system’s performance for some

applications by installing an Intel 80387SX, 33 MHz, 68-pin

PLCC type math coprocessor.

Follow these steps to install the math coprocessor:

1. Locate the socket for the math coprocessor. See page 3-5.

2. If there is an option card in your way, remove it. See page

3-16 for instructions.

Caution
Before you remove the math coprocessor from its

antistatic packaging, touch an unpainted metal surface

on the computer chassis. Do not touch the pins on the

coprocessor. Handle the coprocessor only by the edges

of its case.

3. Remove the coprocessor from its package and inspect it. If

the pins appear bent, do not install the coprocessor.
