NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system board.
Installing a Processor
1Unpack the new processor.
2Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure
3Install the processor in the socket.
NOTICE: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor when you turn it on. When placing the processor in the socket, be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.
aIf the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that position.
bWith the processor and the socket keys aligned, set the processor lightly in the socket.
NOTICE: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
cClose the processor shield. See Figure
dWhen the processor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the processor. See Figure
