Procedure

NOTE: A new processor ships with a thermal pad in the package. In some cases, the
processor may ship with the thermal pad attached to it.
1 Align the pin-1 corner on the processor with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.
NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the processor has a triangle that aligns with the
triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. When the processor is properly
seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners
of the processor are higher than the others, the processor is not seated
properly.
CAUTION: You must position the processor correctly in the processor socket to
avoid permanent damage to the processor.
