Installing the Microprocessor Module
CAUTION: Before performing the following procedures, read the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's
electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.
NOTICE: Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the microprocessor down on the substrate on which the die is mounted while turning the cam
screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the microprocessor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the microprocessor when turning the cam screw.
NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the microprocessor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. The
oils in your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.
NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the microprocessor module.

NOTE: The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the microprocessor to the system board. Take note of the arrow on the ZIF-socket cam screw.
NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the microprocessor module. Seating the microprocessor module properly in
the ZIF socket does not require force.
