Installing a Processor

1Unpack the new processor.

2Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-19.

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

3With 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.

5Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place.

6Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.

7Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply thermal grease evenly to the top of the new processor.

8Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-19.

9Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat-sink retention screws. See Figure 3-18.

10Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 80.

11Replace the expansion-card stabilizer. See "Installing the Expansion-Card Stabilizer" on page 78.
