new processor.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing the processor. Bending the pins

can permanently damage the system board.

Replacing the Processor

1 Unpack the new processor.
2 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-22.
3 Install the processor in the socket.

NOTICE:

Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor when

you turn it on. When placing the processor in the socket, be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.

If the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that
position.

b

With the processor and the socket keys aligned, set the processor lightly in the socket, making
sure all pins are matched with the correct holes in the socket.

NOTICE:

Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned correctly, it engages easily into

the socket.
