CAUTION: • Take adequate ESD preventive measures when you remove the processor socket cover. • Be careful not to touch the pins on the processor socket, which are very fragile. Damage to pins will incur system board replacement. • Keep the pins on the processor socket clean. Make sure the socket is free from dust and any other debris.
Installing DIMMs After you install a new processor, install DIMMs for it. See "DIMM configuration" on the label on the CMOD access panel. To install a DIMM: Open the retaining clips of the DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM bottom edge with the key on the DIMM slot. Insert the DIMM into the slot and make sure the retaining clips lock the DIMM in place.
