Installing the processor
Prerequisites
If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation process.
About this task
NOTE: If either the processor or the fan and heat-sink assembly is replaced, use the thermal grease provided in the kit to
ensure that thermal conductivity is achieved.
The following image(s) indicate the location of the processor and provides a visual representation of the installation procedure.
Steps
1. Ensure that the release lever on the processor socket is fully extended in the open position.
NOTE:
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 notches on the processor with the tabs on the processor socket and place the processor in the processor socket
on the system board.
