a. Align the holes on the microprocessor installation tool with the screws on
the microprocessor bracket, then place the microprocessor installation tool
down over the microprocessor. Twist the handle clockwise to attach the tool
to the microprocessor.
Note: The microprocessor fits only one way on the socket.
b. Twist the handle on the microprocessor tool counterclockwise to insert the
microprocessor into the socket.
Attention:
v Do not press the microprocessor into the socket.
v Do not touch exposed pins of the microprocessor socket. The pins on
the socket are fragile. Any damage to the pins may require replacing the
system board.
v Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned correctly in
the socket before you try to close the microprocessor retainer.
v Do not touch the thermal material on the bottom of the heat sink or on
top of the microprocessor. Touching the thermal material will contaminate
it and destroys its even distribution. If the thermal material on the
microprocessor or heat sink becomes contaminated, you must replace
the thermal grease.
c. Remove the microprocessor dust cover and store it in a safe place.
d. Close the microprocessor bracket frame.
e. Close the microprocessor release lever by pressing down on the end,
moving it back under the release lever holder underneath the
microprocessor bracket.
