Figure 73: Opening the load plate
Ê Rotate the socket lever to lift the load plate away from the socket.
Ê Make sure that the load plate is in the fully open position.
I If the CPU is being transferred after replacing a defective system board
(see section "Swapping the processor" on page 205), the protective
socket cover on the new system board needs to be removed before
proceeding:
Ê Place your thumb against the front edge of the protective socket
cover and rest your index finger on the rear grip. Lift the front edge of
the socket to disengage the cover from the socket and lift the cover
up and away from the socket.
Be careful not to touch or bend the pins on the processor socket!
Save the socket cover for future use. Always replace the socket cover
if you remove the processor from the socket.
