Replacing the Processor Module

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.

NOTICE: A processor module that is not properly seated can result in an intermittent connection or permanent damage to the processor and ZIF socket.

1Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, and insert the processor module.

NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the processor module has a triangle that aligns with the triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.

NOTICE: You must position the processor module correctly in the ZIF socket to avoid permanent damage to the module and the socket.

When the processor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others, the module is not seated correctly.

2Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor module to the system board.

NOTE: When you replace the processor thermal-cooling assembly, be sure to place a new thermal pad on the part of the thermal-cooling assembly that covers the processor.

3Replace the processor thermal-cooling assembly (see "Replacing the Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly" on page 201).

4Perform the steps in "Removing the Processor Module" on page 202 in reverse order, beginning with step 5.
