Pin 1 is located in the lower right corner of the
socket as you face the "Socket 8" label
(Figure 7-11).
8. Install the microprocessor chip in the socket (Fig-
ure 7-11).
CAUTION: Positioning the microprocessor
chip incorrectly in the socket can perma-
nently damage the chip and the computer
when you turn on the system.
If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is
not all the way up, move it to that position now.
With the pin-1 corners of chip and socket aligned,
align the pins on the chip with the holes in the
socket. Set the chip lightly in the socket and make
sure all pins are headed into the correct holes.
Because your system uses a ZIF microprocessor
socket, there is no need to use force (which could
bend the pins if the chip is misaligned). When the
chip is positioned correctly, it should drop down into
the socket with minimal pressure.
CAUTION: When placing the micro-
processor chip in the socket, be sure that all
of the pins go into the corresponding holes
on all sides of the socket. Be careful not to
bend the pins.

When the chip is fully seated in the socket, rotate the
socket release lever back down until it snaps into
place, securing the chip.
