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.
