1If you are installing a second processor in a socket that was previously unoccupied, remove the heat sink blank and socket protective cap from the vacant processor socket. See "Removing a Heat Sink Blank" on page 145.

2Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

3If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from the top of the processor using a lint-freecloth.

4Align the processor with the socket keys on the processor socket. See Figure 3-14.

CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the processor socket.

5With the hook-shaped release and bent load levers on the processor socket in the open position, match the processor with the alignment mark indicator and the socket keys and set the processor lightly in the socket. See Figure 3-14.

CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

6Close the processor shield.

7Rotate the bent load lever down until it snaps into place.

8Rotate the hook-shaped socket-release lever down until it snaps into place. See Figure 3-14.

9Replace the heat sink. See "Installing a Heat Sink" on page 144.

10Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 142.

11Replace the sled. See "Installing a Sled" on page 134.
