4. Install the processor. Verify that the processor is fully seated in the processor retaining bracket by
visually inspecting the processor installation guides on either side of the processor. THE PINS ON THE
SYSTEM BOARD ARE VERY FRAGILE AND EASILY DAMAGED.
CAUTION:
Do not press down on the processor. Pressing down on the processor might damage the processor
socket and the system board. Press only in the area indicated on the processor retaining bracket.
CAUTION:
Close and hold down the processor cover socket while closing the processor locking levers. The
levers should close without resistance. Forcing the levers closed can damage the processor and
socket, requiring system board replacement.
5. Close the processor retaining bracket. When the processor is installed properly inside the processor
retaining bracket, the processor retaining bracket clears the flange on the front of the socket.
