Installing a Math Coprocessor

Your computer has a socket on the main system board to

accommodate an Intel 80387SX (20MHz) math coprocessor.

A math coprocessor speeds up the numeric calculations your

computer performs when using certain application software. It

also increases the speed at which graphic images are displayed

on your monitor when you use graphics-oriented software.

It is best to have your dealer install a math coprocessor for you;

it is a delicate component that can be damaged easily if it is

installed incorrectly.

If you install it yourself, be sure to read the manual that came

with your math coprocessor, if you received one. Then follow

the steps in this section to install it in your computer. However,
be sure to read all of the warnings and instructions carefully so
you do not injure yourself or damage the coprocessor or your
computer.

Caution

To avoid generating static electricity and damaging your

math coprocessor, remain stationary as you install it.
