Insert The New ROMs
10. Remove the new set of ROMs from their protective packaging. Note the labeling on the
chips and the proper placement for each chip as indicated in Figure 4. Also note that each
ROM has a small notch on one end. Orient the ROMS as previously noted.
CAUTION
Failure to insert ROM chips in the correct orientation will damage the ROMs. Do not
assume that the labels are in the right direction. You must orient the ROMs with the notch.
11. Insert the ROMs, one chip at a time as follows:
a) First place the pins on one side of the chip into the contacts on one side of the socket.
DO NOT PUSH DOWN YET.
. b) Next center the pins on the other side of the chip in the contacts on that side of the
socket. Some side pressure may be necessary.
NOTE
Make sure that none of the pins are bent under the chip and that none are outside the
socket. If this happens, remove the chip, straighten the pins and try again.
New ROM chips are often made with their pins splayed out from the centerline of the
device. If the pins are splayed so far that gentle side pressure is not enough to center the
pins in the socket before pushing, it may be necessary to bend the pins. The easiest way
to do this is to push each side of the chip against your work surface until the pins are
parallel.
c) When ALL the pins are into the openings in the socket, push down firmly on the center
of the ROM chip until all the pins are seated as far as they will go.
