Installing System Components


1 Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from
the top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

2 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure

3-8.

CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the ZIF socket.

3 With the release lever on the processor socket in the open position,

align the processor with the socket keys and set the processor lightly in
the socket. See Figure 3-8.

CAUTION: Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is

positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

4 Close the processor shield.
5 Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place.
6 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat

sink.

7 Apply thermal grease evenly to the center of the top of the new

processor.

CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the

processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.

8 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-7.
9 Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat-sink retention screws. See

Figure 3-7.

10 Replace the system-board assembly. See "Installing a System-Board

Assembly" on page 93.

11 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system,

including any attached peripherals.

12 Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the

processor information matches the new system configuration. See
"System Setup Options at Boot" on page 38.
