CAUTION
Before installing or removing the processor, make sure the AC power has been

indicator should not be lit (see Figure 4 on page 28). Failure to do so could damage
the processor and the board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 31.
