CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.

NOTICE: Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the processor module down on the substrate on which the die is mounted while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.

NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the processor module. Seating the processor module properly in the ZIF socket does not require force. A processor module that is not properly seated can result in an intermittent connection or permanent damage to the microprocessor and ZIF socket.
