Installing the Math Coprocessor

You can enhance your system’s performance for some

applications by installing a Cyrix 83S87-25 math coprocessor.

Note that your coprocessor socket may not look exactly like the

one in the illustration. If you’re not sure how to install a math
coprocessor, contact the EPSON Connection or ask for

assistance.

To install the math coprocessor, follow the instructions in the

manual that came with it, or follow these steps:

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 anti-

static packaging, touch a metal surface on the computer

chassis. Do not touch the pins on the coprocessor.

3.

Remove the coprocessor from its package and inspect it. If

the pins appear bent, do not install the coprocessor. You
may need to replace it.
