CAUTION, single-processor configurations require termination
board
The R440LX motherboard can have either one or two
processors. If you install only one processor, it must go in
the Slot 1 primary connector (closest to the DIMM
connectors and the center of the motherboard); you must
also install a termination board in the Slot 1 secondary
connector (closest to the edge of the motherboard).
CAUTION, ESD and handling processors
Do not touch or bend the processor's exposed pins. Reduce
the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the
processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal
chassis before touching the processor or motherboard.
Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to
dissipate the static charge while handling the processor.
(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter
and the additional cautions given here.
2. Remove the new processor from its antistatic package and place it on a
grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.
3. Orient the processor so that the fan heat sink faces the center of the
motherboard. Slide the processor into the retention mechanism. See
figure on page 90. Ensure that the alignment notch in the S.E.C.
cartridge fits over the plug in Slot 1. Push down firmly, with even
pressure on both sides of the top, until the S.E.C. cartridge is seated.
