working inside your computer. After working inside your computer, follow

CAUTION: If either the processor or the heat sink is replaced, use the
thermal grease provided in the kit to ensure that thermal conductivity is
achieved.
NOTE: A new processor ships with a thermal pad in the package. In some
cases, the processor may ship with the thermal pad attached to it.
Procedure
1 Ensure that the release lever on the processor socket is fully extended in the
open position.
CAUTION: The pin-1 corner of the processor has a triangle that aligns
with the triangle on the pin-1 corner on the processor socket. When the
processor is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same
height. If one or more corners of the processor are higher than the
others, the processor is not seated properly.
2 Align the pin-1 corner on the processor with the pin-1 corner on the processor
socket, and then place the processor in the processor socket.
3 When the processor is fully seated in the socket, close the processor cover.
