Important
Touch only the sides of the microprocessor. Do not touch the gold
contacts on the bottom.
15. Lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket.
Notes
a. Note the orientation of the notches on the microprocessor. This is
important when reinstalling the microprocessor on the new system
board.
b. Do not drop anything onto the microprocessor socket while it is
exposed. The socket pins must be kept as clean as possible.
16. On the new system board, release the lever securing the microprocessor
retainer and then pivot the retainer until it is fully open.
Note: There will be a black plastic cover on the microprocessor retainer
to protect the socket on the new system board. Remove the black plastic
cover and place it on the microprocessor socket of the failing system board.
17. Holding the microprocessor with your fingers, position the microprocessor
so that the notches on the microprocessor are aligned with the tabs in the
microprocessor socket.
