8. Unpack the new microprocessor.
If any of the pins on the chip appear to be bent, see the online System User's Guide for information on obtaining technical assistance.
9. Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor chip with the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor socket (see Figure 26).
The pin-1 corner of the microprocessor is the squared off corner (see Figure 26).
10. Install the microprocessor chip in the socket (see Figure 26).
If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way out, move it to that position now.
With the pin-1 corners of the chip and socket aligned, align the pins on the chip with the holes in the socket. Set the chip lightly in the socket
and make sure that all pins are headed into the correct holes. Because your system uses a ZIF microprocessor socket, there is no need to
use force (which could bend the pins if the chip is misaligned). When the chip is positioned correctly, it should seat itself in the socket with
minimal pressure.
When the chip is fully seated in the socket, pivot the microprocessor-socket release lever back toward the socket until it snaps into place,
securing the chip.

11. Unpack the heat sink included in your upgrade kit.
Peel the release liner from the adhesive tape that is attached to the bottom of the heat sink.
12. Place the heat sink on top of the microprocessor chip (see Figure 27).

NOTICE: When placing the microprocessor chip in the socket, be sure that all of the pins go into the corresponding holes on
all sides of the socket. Be careful not to bend the pins.
