Lift the old processor straight up and out of the socket.

Install the new processor:
a
Hold the new processor over the empty processor socket and verify
that pin 1 on both the processor and the socket are aligned. Pin
1 is near the cut out corner.
b
Gently place the new processor into the socket. The processor will
slip into place without pressure when aligned correctly.
c
Secure the processor by lowering the locking lever until it latches
into place.

Replace the heat sink by hooking the two metal clips on the heat sink
to the tabs on the processor socket. Make sure the heat sink is level with
the processor and the metal clips are securely attached.
Caution It is very important that the heat sink makes direct contact
with the processor or else it will not cool correctly, resulting
in processor failure.
7
Close the case. (See "Closing the case" on page 19 for instructions.)
8
Reconnect peripherals, the modem cord, and the power cord, then turn
on the system.
You do not have to manually adjust the processor speeds. Your system BIOS
automatically detects the processor speed for you.
