The sealed package might contain instructions...

A couple of tips:
        1. The 730T's motherboard is VERY VERY VERY thin and flexible and likely to
shatter if you band it too much.

        2. The big advantage is moving from that weenie 486/25/SuX chip with
virtually no cache to an IBM-made 486DX4 with 16K cache on-board. It's likely
to speed up tight cpu-intense processes. Maybe not Netscrape, though. )-:

        3. There are hidden screws, I think about 14 in all by the time you can get
it far enough apart to change out the CPU.

be careful!
