IBM 704 manual Installing a Microprocessor

Installing a Microprocessor

9.Remove the microprocessor from the static-protective bag, without touching or bending the pins. Place it pin-side down on a grounded, static-protective or conductive-foam surface.

10.Open the thermal grease packet. Place the contents of the packet on top of the microprocessor.

11.Spread the grease evenly over the surface of the microprocessor. Ensure that the grease does not extend beyond the microprocessor edges.

12.Discard the empty thermal grease packet.

13.Align the heat sink above the microprocessor.

14.Place the flat side of the heat sink on the layer of grease that covers the microprocessor.

Note: When you move the microprocessor/heat sink assembly to the socket on the processor board, hold the assembly by the sides.

15.Center the microprocessor/heat sink assembly over the socket.

16.Carefully lower the microprocessor/heat sink assembly into the socket. Ensure that the pins on the microprocessor/heat sink assembly align with the holes in the socket. Do not bend the pins.

Note: Do not force the pins into the socket. If you feel any resistance, remove the microprocessor/heat sink assembly and check the orientation and alignment.
