Socket A AMD Processor Installation Guide 23986—December 2000
5. Figure 5 shows the processor installed and the release lever lowered to lock the
processor in place. With the processor now properly installed, the heatsink and
fan assembly can be attached.
WARNING: Do not power up the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached. THE PROCESSOR WILL SUFFER THERMAL FAILURE and PERMANENT
DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
Notice the rubber pads on each corner of the processor. These pads are required
to ensure the proper installation of the heatsink. They should never be removed.
There must be four pads. If a pad is missing, please return the processor to your
supplier. Do not use it—die damage may result.
Also notice the lugs on the socket. In later steps, the center lugs will be used for
the heatsink isntallation.
