Socket 370 uses the Zero Insertion Force ( ZIF ) socket. As its name implies, the ZIF socket is designed for ease of manufacture and so that the average computer owner will be able to upgrade the microprocessor. The ZIF socket contains a lever that opens and closes, securing the microprocessor in place. Different sockets have differing numbers of pins and pin layout arrangements.
