Installing a Processor

1Unpack the new processor.

2If you are installing a second processor for the first time, remove and discard the protective shield on top of the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-35.

3Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-35.

4Install 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. Avoid touching the socket pins or the pads on the processor when handling the processor or the system board.

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 3-35.

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 3-35.
