4. Remove any preinstalled screws from the system board around the second processor socket.
5. Open the second processor socket lever 1 fully (the full swing angle of the lever is approximately 135
degrees).
6. Line up the two keyed corners of the pins on the processor with the two keyed corners of the processor
socket and install the processor 2 into the socket. Ensure that the underside of the processor is level
with the top of the processor socket.
7. Lightly press down on the top of the processor while closing the socket lever.
8. Check for proper processor seating in the socket. Using your fingers, carefully try to lift the processor
out of the socket. A properly seated processor will not lift out of the socket.
9. Remove and discard the green thermal grease protective liner from the bottom of the new fansink and
set the fansink over the processor 1.
NOTE: Be careful not to touch the exposed thermal grease when handling the fansink.
10. Line up the captive screws 2 of the fansink with the holes on the system board (the holes where the
preinstalled screws were removed earlier).
11. Tighten the screws until they no longer turn and the springs are fully compressed.
NOTE: The screws should be tightened in a crossing pattern to ensure the fansink is secured correctly.
12. Connect the fansink cable to the system board header 3.
