Installing and Removing a Processor

Instructions on how to install the processor to the desktop board are given below.

CAUTION

Before installing or removing the processor, make sure that AC power has been removed by

unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not be lit

(see Figure 2 on page 19). Failure to do so could damage the processor and the desktop board.

To install a processor, follow these instructions:

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 21.

2. Locate the processor socket and raise the socket lever completely.

3. Install the processor so that the corner with the gold triangle marking (A) is aligned with the

corner where the lever is attached to the socket (see Figure 5).

4. Lower the lever to its original position.

The desktop board has an integrated processor fan heatsink retention mechanism (RM). For
