CAUTION: Use a chip extractor to replace the Boot ROM.
To replace the Boot ROM:
1 Insert the top end of the chip extractor into the Boot ROM socket, turn inward
slightly, withdraw the extractor upward and lift the Boot ROM out.
2 Put the Boot ROM into the static shielding bag.
3 Insert the end of the chip extractor into the socket of the new Boot ROM.
4 Position the Boot ROM so that the beveled edge of the socket matches the
beveled edge on the Boot ROM and plug it into the Boot ROM socket.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or bend the pins at the bottom of the Boot
ROM. If the pins are bent, straighten them with needle-nose pliers.
