CPU Installation
The PISA-E1 Industrial SBC Card provides a 370-pins ZIF socket for Pentium
II/III-processors and Celeron with FC-PAG and PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array)
package.
Before installing the processor into the Socket, ensure that the CPU fan is
installed first. Without a fan circulating air on the CPU, the CPU can overheat and
cause damage to both CPU and SBC card.
To Install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIP
socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then
upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation.
Use the notched corner of the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white
dot should point towards the end of the lever. Notice that there is a blank area
where one hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holds.
Because the CPU has a corner pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only
fit in one orientation. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required
to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and close the
socket lever.
To disassembly the processor, simply pull the lever sideways away from the
socket then upward to a 90-degree right angle. You can take the CPU out from the
socket without help of any tool.
WARNING!:
If no FAN circulating Air on the CPU, the processor might been
overheated and damage both CPU and SBC components.
