2If you are adding a second processor for the first time, remove the heatsink blank and the processor blank from the vacant processor socket. Removing the blanks is similar to removing a processor. See "Removing a Processor."

3Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

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

4Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-20.

5Install the processor in the socket.

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

aWith the release lever on the processor socket in the open position, align the processor with the socket keys and set the processor lightly in the socket.

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

bClose the processor shield.

cRotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place.

6Install the heat sink.

a Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove any thermal grease from the heat sink.

b Open the grease packet included with the processor kit and apply a small amount (approximately 1.5 cm (.6 in) in diameter of thermal grease to the center of the top of the new processor.

CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.

cPlace the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-20.

dClose the two heat-sink retention latches. See Figure 3-20.

7Close the system. See "Closing the System."

8Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor information matches the new system configuration. See "Entering the System Setup Program."
