CAUTION: Do NOT handle the pins in the processor socket. These pins are very fragile and
handling them could cause irreparable damage. Once pins are damaged it may be necessary to
replace the system board.
CAUTION: The heat sink must be installed within 24 hours of installing the processor to prevent
damage to the processor’s solder connections.
