TM700 User Guide - Upgrading Your System

9.Remove the new processor from its antistatic package and place it on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad.

10.Position the processor over the processor socket so that its pins align with the socket holes.

Note: Be aware of CPU direction. Pin layouts on two corners among four differ from others to prevent an incorrect insertion. Confirm the pin mark and pin layout on the socket, and insert the CPU correctly.

11.Gently apply pressure equally over the top surface of the processor until it seats in the socket. The processor should fit, do not force the processor into the socket. Push the socket lever down until it snaps into the locked position.

12.Position the heat sink on the processor.

13.Install both heat sink clips as follows:

Hook one end of the clip over the tab on the retention (facing the power sup- ply unit).

Align the clip with the slot in the heat sink ; press down on the front part of the clip while hooking the other end of the clip over the tab on the retention (facing the AGP connector) .

Install the other clip.
