132 Installing System Components
9 Verify that the processor is properly aligned and seated.
CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is
positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
10 Close the processor shield.
11 Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place. See
"Installing a Processor" on page 130.
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.
12 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.
13 Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply thermal
grease evenly to the center of the top of the new processor.
14 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-23.
15 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat-sink retention screws.
See Figure 3-23.
16 If applicable, replace the system board shroud. See "Installing the System
Board Shroud" on page 110.
17 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
18 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,
including any attached peripherals.
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 58.
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 170.
