Step 11. Rotate the locking lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and locked position until it
stops in the fully open position (approximately a 135° angle). Lift the microprocessor retainer cover
upward.
Attention: Do not touch the connectors on the microprocessor and the microprocessor socket.
Step 12. Find the microprocessor installation tool that came with the new microprocessor.
Attention: If you are removing E7 series microprocessors, you must use the microprocessor
installation tool with the text "X7500 + E7" on the bottom of the tool (see the following illustration).
Tools that do not have this text on the bottom will not work correctly with the E7 series
microprocessors.

Step 13. Place the microprocessor installation tool down over the microprocessor, aligning the holes on the
tool with the screws on the microprocessor bracket.
Note: The alignment holes on the tool will not sit flush on the microprocessor bracket screws.
However, the holes can be used as a guide to ensure the proper alignment between the
microprocessor installation tool and the microprocessor bracket.
Step 14. Twist the handle clockwise to attach the tool to the microprocessor.
Note: You can pick up or release the microprocessor by twisting the microprocessor installation
tool handle.
