CAUTION: DO NOT lay the processor on its base to avoid bending or damaging the pins underneath it.
IMPORTANT: When installing a processor:
– Note the golden arrow on the corner to make sure the processor is properly oriented over
the socket.
– Moisten a soft cloth with isopropyl alcohol and clean the processor die to remove any
thermal grease residue. Wipe the die surface several times to make sure that no particles
or dust contaminants are evident. Allow the alcohol to evaporate before continuing. Apply
just enough thermal grease to evenly coat the surface of the processor die.
