Installing System Components

2 If you are adding a second processor for the first time, remove the heatsink

blank and the processor blank from the vacant processor socket. Removing

the blanks is similar to removing a processor. See "Removing a Processor."

3 Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from the

top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

4 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See

Figure 3-20.

5 Install the processor in the socket.

CAUTION:

Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the

system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.
a

With the release lever on the processor socket in the open position,

align the processor with the socket keys and set the processor lightly

in the socket.

CAUTION:

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

positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
b

Close the processor shield.

c

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

6 Install the heat sink.

a

Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove any thermal grease from the heat

sink.

b

Open the grease packet included with the processor kit and apply a

small amount (approximately 1.5 cm (.6 in) in diameter of thermal

grease to the center of the top of the new processor.

CAUTION:

Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the

processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.
c

Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-20.

d

Close the two heat-sink retention latches. See Figure 3-20.

7 Close the system. See "Closing the System."
8 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."
