Figure 41. Preparing for microprocessor installation
7. Install the microprocessor:
a. Lower the tool and microprocessor onto the socket, ensuring that the two guide pins are inserted
into the alignment holes on each side of the tool.
Note: Do not attempt to slide the tool and the microprocessor in any direction while the
microprocessor is touching the socket. If the tool and the microprocessor are not aligned with the
guide pins, lift the tool and the microprocessor and reposition them.
b. After the tool and microprocessor holes and guide pins are properly aligned, squeeze and hold
the two tool tabs (A) together until a firm stop is reached. Then lift the tool off the
microprocessor, as shown in Figure 42 on page 79.
