new microprocessor.
Figure 63. Removing the microprocessor socket cover
Notes:
• Do not remove the socket cover until you install a microprocessor into the socket. If you remove the
microprocessor, install the socket cover or a new microprocessor immediately.
• Do not drop anything onto the microprocessor socket while it is exposed. The socket pins must be
kept as clean as possible.
• Do not touch the pins on the microprocessor socket and the gold contacts on the bottom of the
new microprocessor.
