Installing a Processor

CAUTION

Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed
by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not
be lit (see Figure 4 on
page 30). Failure to do so could damage the processor and the
board.

To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 33.
2. Unlatch the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket

(Figure 7, A and B).
