NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system
board.

Installing a Processor

1. Unpack the new processor.
2. Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-28.
3. Install the processor in the socket.
NOTICE: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor when you turn it on. When placing the
processor in the socket, be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.
a. If the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that position.
b. With the processor and the socket keys aligned, set the processor lightly in the socket.
NOTICE: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
c. Close the processor shield. See Figure 3-28.
d. When the processor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the processor. See
Figure 3-28.
4. Install the heat sink.
NOTE: If you did not receive a replacement heat sink, use the heat sink that you removed in
a. If you receive a heat sink and pre-applied thermal grease with your processor kit, remove the protective sheet from the thermal grease layer on
top of the heat sink.
If you did not receive a replacement heat sink with your processor kit, do the following:
2 heat-sink retention levers (2)
2 processor
4 processor shield
6 socket key (2)
