Unpack the new microprocessor.

If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see "

Getting Help

," for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.

11.

 

Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor (see

Figure 6

-13

) with the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor socket.

Identify the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor by locating the tiny gold triangle that extends from one corner of the large central rectangular area. The
gold triangle points toward pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a square pad.

If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way up, move it to that position now.

13.

 

Install the microprocessor in the socket (see

Figure 6

-14

).

14.

 

When the microprocessor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the microprocessor.

Place the new heat sink on top of the microprocessor (see

Figure 6

-15

).

16.

 

Orient the securing clip as shown in

Figure 6

NOTE:

Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the microprocessor correctly.

CAUTION:

Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the microprocessor and the system when you turn on the system.

When placing the microprocessor in the socket, ensure that all of the pins on the microprocessor go into the corresponding holes. Be careful not
to bend the pins.
