4.
Unpack the new processor.
If any of the pins on the processor appear bent, see "
Getting Help
."
5.
If you are adding an additional processor, remove the processor filler blank from the socket by pressing inward on the two tabs on the filler blank and
lifting the filler blank out of the system. See
.
Figure 6-17. Removing a Processor Filler Blank
6.
Align the pin-1 corner of the new processor with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. See
Identify the pin-1 corner of the processor by locating the tiny gold triangle on one corner of the processor. Place this corner in the same corner of the ZIF
socket identified by a corresponding triangle.
7.
Install the processor in the socket.
a.
If the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that position.
b.
With the pin-1 corners of the processor and socket aligned, set the processor lightly in the socket, making sure all pins are matched with the
correct holes in the socket.
Because the system uses a ZIF processor socket, do not use force, which could bend the pins if the processor is misaligned.
When the processor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the socket with minimal pressure.
c.
When the processor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the processor.
8.
Install the heat sink.
a.
Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the existing thermal grease from the heat sink.
b.
Apply thermal grease evenly to the top of the processor.
c.
Place the heat sink onto the processor. See
d.
Squeeze the sides of the heat-sink retention clip together and press down on the blue tab. When the lower corners of the clip fit into the slots in
the socket, release the sides of the clip to lock the heat sink in place. See
.
9.
Reinstall the cooling shroud. See "
."
10.
Close the system. See "
Closing the System
" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new processor and automatically changes the system configuration information in the System Setup
program.
11.
Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the processor information matches the new system configuration.
NOTICE:
Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the processor correctly. Pin-1 corners of processors 3 and 4 are opposite orientation of
pin-1 corners of processors 1 and 2.
NOTICE:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the processor and the system when you turn it on. When placing the processor
in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the processor enter the corresponding holes. Be careful not to bend the pins.
NOTE:
Use the heat sink that you removed in
