Important: When removing or installing a processor, always hold the processor by the edges.
Be extremely careful not to touch the gold pins on the bottom of the processor, as this type of
connector is very sensitive to contamination. Also be careful not to touch the gold pins in the
processor socket on the logic board.
Note: You can identify the processor by the speed etched on the processor can, as illustrated
below. You must clean o the thermal grease from installed processors to see the speed.
Replacement Note: Before installing a replacement processor, remove the protective cap
covering the new processor’s connector.
