Heat sink on page 60).
4. Rotate the processor locking lever to its full open position (1).

handling them could cause irreparable damage. Once pins are damaged it may be necessary to
replace the system board.
The heat sink must be installed within 24 hours of installing the processor to prevent damage to
the processor’s solder connections.
