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. Avoid touching the socket
pins or the pads on the processor when handling the processor or the system
board.

a

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.

NOTICE:

Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned

correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

c

Close the processor shield. See Figure 3-22.
