Key Pin Hole
If your Pentium OverDrive processor socket does not have a key pin hole
corner, you must look for other alignment clues. Carefully inspect the socket
and the area around it. Some visual clues you may see include:
• a blunt edge on either an inside or outside corner of the socket
• a blunt edge in a silkscreened socket outline on the motherboard
• a socket corner which is a different shade or contains a mark not
found on any of the other socket corners
• a mark which is silkscreened on the motherboard by one socket
corner
• an extra pin hole on the outside pin hole row
• a corner with a pin hole arrangment different from the other
socket corners
• a socket corner labeled “A1” or “Pin 1” on the motherboard or
socket
You must match the corner of the Pentium OverDrive processor which
contains the blunt edge and distinctive pin arrangement with this corner of the
socket.
