Installing the Processor

NOTICE:

When replacing the processor, do not touch any of the pins inside the

socket or allow any objects to fall on the pins in the socket.

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift,
move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid
injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.

CAUTION:

The computer stand should be installed at all times to ensure

maximum system stability. Failure to install the stand could result in the computer
tipping over, potentially resulting in bodily injury or damage to the computer.

2 Remove the

computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 141).

3 Loosen the captive thumbscrews that secure the memory shroud and lift it
