Installing a Processor

CAUTION
Before installing or removing the processor, make sure the AC power has been
removed by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED
should not be lit (see Figure 3 on page 25). 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 27.
2. Open the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket
(Figure 6, A and B).
