Installing System Components

10 Rotate the socket-release lever down until it snaps into place. See

Figure 3-24.

NOTE:

Your kit may contain a replacement heat sink if you are installing a

processor that consumes additional power. The new heat sink may not appear

different than the original one; however, it has improved thermal dissipation

specifications and must be used.

11 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink.

CAUTION:

Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming

in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.

12 Keeping the heat sink pin aligned with the slot on the system board,

place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-23.

13 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two heat-sink retention

screws. See Figure 3-23.

14 If applicable, replace the cooling fan assembly. See "Installing the Cooling

Fan Assembly" on page 104.

15 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 89.

16 If applicable, slide the front chassis assembly back. See "Front-Chassis

Assembly" on page 90.

17 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 77.
18 Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn

on the system.

19 Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor

information

matches the new system configuration. See "Entering the

System Setup Program" on page 54.

20 Run the system diagnostics to verify that the new processor operates

correctly.
For information about running the diagnostics, see "Running the

Embedded System Diagnostics" on page 172.
