increasing microprocessor speed this section describes how to complete the following actions to increase microprocessor speed: ? replace the 21164 microprocessor with an alphapc chip that has a higher speed rating. ? reconfigure the cpu speed selection jumpers (j28 option 1~4). 5.3.1 preparatory information caution: static-sensitive component C due to the sensitive nature of electronic components to static electricity, anyone handling the microprocessor must wear a properly grounded antistatic wriststrap. use of antistatic mats, esd approved workstations, or exercising other good esd prac- tices is recommended. a 21164 microprocessor with a higher speed rating is available from your local distributor. see appendix a for information about supporting products. when replacing the microprocessor chip, also replace the thermal conducting grafoil pad. see appendix a for information about the parts kit, which includes the heat sink, grafoil pad, two hex nuts, heat-sink clips, 60-mm fan, fan guard, and four screws. 5.3.2 required tools the following tools are required when replacing the microprocessor chip: a ts30 manual nut/torque driver (or equivalent) with the following attachments is required to affix the heat sink and fan to the microprocessors ipga package: ? 1/4-inch hex bit ? 7/16-inch socket with 1/4-inch hex drive ? #2 phillips-head screwdriver bit memory and microprocessor configuration 5C5 increasing microprocessor speed 5.3.3 removing the 21164 microprocessor remove the microprocessor currently in place at location u55 by performing the following steps: 1. unplug the fan power/sensor cable from connector j35 (see figure 2C1). 2. remove the four 6-32 x 0.875-inch screws that secure the fan and fan guard to the heat sink. 3. remove the fan and fan guard. 4. if the sink/chip/fan clip is used, remove it by unhooking its ends from around the zif socket retainers. 5. using a 7/16-inch socket, remove the two nuts securing the heat sink to the microprocessor studs. 6. remove the heat sink by gently lifting it off the microprocessor. 7. remove and discard the grafoil heat conduction pad. 8. thoroughly clean the bottom surface of the heat sink before affixing it to the new microprocessor. 9. lift the zif socket actuator handle to a full 90 angle. 10. remove the microprocessor chip by lifting it straight out of the socket. 5.3.4 installing the 21164 microprocessor install the new microprocessor in location u55 by performing the following steps: note: install the heat sink only after the microprocessor has been assembled to the zif socket. 1. observe antistatic precautions. 2. lift the zif socket actuator handle to a full 90 angle. 3. ensure that all the pins on the microprocessor package are straight. 4. the zif socket and microprocessor are keyed to allow for proper installation. align the microprocessor, with its missing ad01 pin, with the corresponding plugged ad01 position on the zif socket. gently lower into position. 5. close the zif socket actuator handle to its locked position. 5C6 memory and microprocessor configuration increasing microprocessor speed 6. install the heat sink and heat-sink fan as directed in the following steps. a heat- sink/fan kit is available from the vendor listed at the beginning of this procedure. refer to figure 5C2 for heat-sink and fan assembly details. figure 5-1 shows the fan/heat-sink assembly on alphapc 164ux. figure 5C2 fan/heat-sink assembly a. put the grafoil thermal pad in place. the grafoil pad is used to improve the thermal conductivity between the chip package and the heat sink by replacing micro air pockets with a less insulative material. perform the following steps to position the grafoil pad: 1. perform a visual inspection of the package slug to ensure that it is free of contamination. 2. wearing clean gloves, pick up the grafoil pad. do not perform this with bare hands because skin oils can be transferred to the pad. guard, fan alpha

microprocessor heat sink. the heat-sink material is clear anod- ized, hot-water-sealed, 6061-t6 aluminum. the nut material is 2011-t3 alu- minum (this grade is critical). perform the following steps to attach the heat sink: 1. observe antistatic precautions. 2. align the heat-sink holes with the threaded studs on the ceramic package. 3. handle the heat sink by the edges and lower it onto the chip package, taking care not to damage the stud threads. 4. set a calibrated torque driver to 20 in-lbs, 2 in-lbs (2.3 nm, 0.2 nm). the torque driver should have a mounted 7/16-inch socket. 5. insert a nut into the 7/16-inch socket, place on one of the studs, and tighten to the specified torque. repeat for the second nut. 6. if the sink/chip/fan clip is used, properly install it by positioning it over the assembly and hooking its ends around the zif socket retainers. c. attach the heat-sink fan assembly: 1. place the fan assembly on top of the heat sink, aligning the fan mounting holes with the corresponding threaded heat-sink holes. align the fan so that the fan power/sensor wires exit the fan closest to connector j35 (see figure 2C1). fan airflow must be directed into the heat sink (fan label facing down toward the heat sink). 2. place the fan guard on top of the fan. orient the guard so that the corner mounting areas lay flush against the heat sink. 3. secure the fan and fan guard to the heat sink with four 6-32 x 0.875-inch screws. 4. plug the fan power/sensor cable into connector j35. important: when installing the microprocessor, you must change the frequency of its
