IMPORTANT: Do not handle the pins in the processor socket. These pins are fragile, and handling
them could cause irreparable damage. If pins are damaged, you might have to replace the system
board.
The thermal material must be thoroughly cleaned from the surfaces of the processor and the
heat sink and reinstalled each time the processor is removed. Replacement thermal material is
included with the processor and heat sink spare part kits.
When installing the processor into the processor holder, make sure the corner of the processor with
the triangle icon (1) is aligned with the corner of the processor holder with the triangle icon (2), and the
notches (3) in the processor are aligned with the ribs (4) on the processor bracket clips. When installing
the processor and processor bracket onto the heat sink, make sure the corner of the processor bracket
with the triangle icon (2) is aligned with the corner of the heat sink with the triangle icon (5). Failure to
follow this caution can result in damage to the processor and system board and system failure.
