Replacing the Processor
1. Ensure that the contacts on the bottom of the replacement processor are free from dirt or other foreign material.
2. Align the notched edge of the replacement processor with the tab on the processor frame. See Figure 5 -3 .
3. Carefully set the processor in the processor frame. Ensure that the notched edge of the processor fits securely over the matching tab on the processor
frame. Do not press down on the processor. If the processor is seated correctly, it should fit snugly in the socket frame. See
Figure 5 -3 .
4. Lower the retention latch onto the processor, and then rotate the release lever latch back toward the system board until it snaps into place.
5. Clean the thermal grease from the bottom of the heat sink.
NOTICE: The retention latch is pressure-loaded. Ensure that the latch does not quickly open and strike the processor or system board.
NOTICE: Do not pry the processor from the socket by a single edge. This could result in damage to the processor's delicate connections.
NOTICE: Be careful not to touch or drop any foreign materials on the socket connector pads.
NOTICE: Use caution when removing and installing the processor. Damaging the processor socket connectors can damage the system board.
