Installing System Components
3 If you are adding a processor to an empty socket, perform the following
steps:
a Remove the protective cover from the processor socket.
b Pull the socket-release lever 90 degrees upward. See Figure 3-20.
c Lift the processor shield. See Figure 3-20.
4 Install the processor in the socket.
NOTICE:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
system board or the processor when you turn the system on.
a If the release lever on the processor socket is not fully open, move it to
that position.
b With the processor and the socket keys aligned, set the processor
lightly in the socket.
NOTICE:
Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it fits easily into the socket.
c Close the processor shield. See Figure 3-20.
d Rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place,
securing the processor. See Figure 3-20.
5 Install the heat sink.
NOTE:
If you did not receive a replacement heat sink, use the heat sink that
you removed in step 10.
a If you receive a heat sink and pre-applied thermal grease with your
processor kit, remove the protective sheet from the thermal grease
layer on top of the heat sink. See Figure 3-19.
If you did not receive a replacement heat sink with your processor kit,
apply new thermal grease:
• Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the existing thermal grease
from the heat sink.
• Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply
thermal grease evenly to the top of the processor.
b Place the heat sink onto the processor. See Figure 3-19.
c While pressing down on the heat, secure the heat sink by tightening
the two retention screws until resistance is felt. See Figure 3-19.
