5. Unlock the processor-locking mechanism using the special processor tool (P/N 5069-5441),
or equivalent 2.5 mm hex tool, shipped with your replacement processor assembly. Insert the
tool into the lock and rotate the special processor tool 180 degrees counterclockwise. Verify
that the processor-locking mechanism is rotated into the unlocked position.
CAUTION: The zero insertion force (ZIF) socket for the processor is locked and unlocked by
1/2 of a full turn of the 2.5 mm hex tool. The counterclockwise 180 degree rotation (1/2
turn) unlocks the socket. A clockwise 180 degree rotation locks the socket. Attempting to turn
the locking mechanism more that 180 degrees can severely damage the socket.
