a. Identify which release lever is labeled as the first release lever to open and
open it.
b. Open the second release lever on the microprocessor socket.
c. Open the microprocessor retainer.
Attention: Do not touch the connectors on the microprocessor and the
microprocessor socket.
8. Install the microprocessor on the microprocessor socket:
a. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new microprocessor
to any unpainted on the chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component; then, carefully remove the microprocessor from
the package.
Note: Do not touch the microprocessor contacts. Contaminants on the
microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection
failures between the contacts and the socket.
b. Align the installation tool with the microprocessor socket and lower down
the installation tool. The installation tool rests flush on the socket only if
properly aligned.
