Introduction 1

TurboChip400 User’s Guide - Rev. A00 Kingston Technology Company

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Kingston TurboChip



400 processor

upgrade designed for Pentium®75MHz or higher computers. The TurboChip

model TC400 incorporates the AMD-K6®-2 processor to combine the power

of 400MHz processing with graphics-enhancing 3DNow! Technology to equip

your system with the necessary tools for today’s exciting media-intensive

graphics, sound, and video software applications.

TurboChip400 features 64KB of internal Level 1 cache, integrated cooling

unit, and onboard voltage regulator to interface the processor with the voltage

requirements of your system motherboard automatically. TurboChip400 is a

convenient, high-performance solution to increase your computer’s CPU speed

over its current processor providing a perfect fit for 16-bit or 32-bit operating

systems such as Microsoft Windows®95, Windows98, and Windows NT.

TurboChip400 is a chip-for-chip processor upgrade that installs directly into

your existing Socket 5 or Socket 7 ZIF (zero-insertion-force) socket. Most

desktop computers use ZIF sockets with a swing lever to make removing the

CPU chip quick and easy. There are no software drivers to install or hardware

jumpers to set. The TurboChippackage also includes an integrated heat sink

and fan cooling unit to control the operating temperature of the TurboChipfor

years of reliable service.

Package Contents

The TurboChippackage should contain the following items:

•Service Pack for Windows 95 OSR 2.x floppy disk

If any of the items are missing or damaged, please contact your Kingston

dealer for a replacement. Remove the Processor Upgrade from its special anti-

static foam pad only when you are at the point of installing it into your

computer. Remember to ground yourself first to avoid static electricity

discharge. Do this by applying both hands to a neutral metal surface like the

rear of the computer or the power supply metal housing. Remove the

protective foam pad from the TurboChipconnector pins very carefully, and

take care not to damage the pins when installing the upgrade. Retain all the

protective packaging for future use.

Before You Begin

The TurboChipinstallation should take less than 15 minutes to complete.

Before you begin, however, there is one very important point to be aware of.

First, notice the location of Pin 1 on the TurboChipupgrade denoted by a

white triangle on the bottom of the unit. This corner of the upgrade must match

Pin 1 on the processor socket (See figures below). Your computer should be

using either a Socket 5 or Socket 7 type processor socket. Pin 1 orientation is

standard for both socket types. Take a few moments to read the section below

before beginning the installation process.

Pin 1 Orientation

The location of Pin 1 on the TurboChipmust be oriented to match Pin 1 on

the processor socket. The TurboChipupgrade is keyed to fit only one way

into the CPU socket. If the pins are aligned, the TurboChipshould easily slide

into the socket. Refer to the figures below for proper orientation:

Installing the TurboChip

The TurboChip400 processor upgrade is designed to work with AMD-K5®,

AMD-K6® and Pentium®based systems that support Socket 5 or Socket 7 ZIF

sockets. The installation procedure will differ slightly according to the

location of your processor socket. Follow the steps below to install

TurboChipinto your computer.

Step 1. Opening the Computer

1. Set the power switch on the system unit to OFF.

2. Set all external power switches OFF (i.e. display, printer, etc.).

3. Disconnect all power cords and cables from the rear of the computer.

4. Remove the cover from your computer as described in your owner’s

manual. Make sure you have room to work. If necessary, place the

computer on a desktop surface that is easily accessible with plenty of

area to work.

Step 2. Locating the CPU

1. Locate the CPU chip on your system board or CPU expansion card.

The CPU chip will most likely have a large metal heatsink attached

on top (See Figure 4 on the next page to view a standard heatsink).

Note: some system manufacturers also include a cooling fan on top

of the heatsink.

2. Make sure the CPU chip is accessible. If the CPU socket is located

under an expansion card, move any full-length adapter cards to other

expansion slots. If no slots are available, place a half-length card in

the slot nearest the CPU socket so that the CPU socket is

unobstructed. If the CPU socket is located under the floppy drive

(e.g., IBM ValuePoint™), loosen the retaining screws and remove the

drive bay for easier installation.

Step 3. Removing the CPU Chip

1. Remove the Heatsink Retaining Clip: If your CPU has a heatsink

similar to the illustration below, it is most likely secured with a

retaining clip. Before removing the CPU chip from its socket, you

must first unlatch the retaining clip by pressing down on the retaining

clip tab (See Figure 4) and releasing the latch. Try not to touch the

motherboard or any other components near the socket. With the

retaining clip completely removed from the heatsink, you are ready

to remove the CPU chip.

Note: The retaining clip is not needed for the TurboChipupgrade.

2. Unlock the Socket: Socket 7 and Socket 5 ZIF (zero insertion force)

sockets use a side bar lever to lock and unlock the socket. Unlatch

the side lever and lift upward to unlock the processor chip.

3. Once the socket is in the unlocked position, remove the CPU by

grasping the sides of the chip with your fingers.

Note: you may use the TurboChip’s protective foam packaging to store

your original CPU chip.

Step 4. Orienting the TurboChip

When installing the TurboChip, the orientation of Pin 1 (See Figure 1 on page

3) must match Pin 1 on the processor socket (See Figures 2 and 3 on page 3).

The orientation of the processor socket will vary depending on the make and

model of your particular computer. Follow the steps below to determine the

correct orientation of TurboChipin your computer.

1. Look at the TurboChipcarefully to verify which corner is Pin 1.

Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 for help in locating Pin 1 on the

TurboChip.

2. With the TurboChippositioned so that the beveled corner on the

upgrade matches the beveled corner on the processor socket, you are

ready to insert TurboChipinto the empty CPU socket.

Warning: The processor pins are keyed to fit into the socket one way only. If

the processor upgrade is not installed correctly (Pin 1 to Pin 1), it may result in

damage to the computer, the processor upgrade, or both. Please orient Pin 1 on

the TurboChipupgrade to match Pin 1 on your CPU socket. Refer to Figure 5

below.
