Ê Fully open the load plate.
V CAUTION!
Be careful not to touch or bend the spring contacts on the processor
socket.
– If the processor may be reused later, thoroughly clean residual thermal
paste from the processor surface using a lint-free cloth and store the
processor in a save place.
V CAUTION!
Processors are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge and
must be handled with care. After a processor has been removed from
its protective sleeve or from its socket, place it upside down on a
nonconducting, antistatic surface. Never push a processor over a
surface.
