Installing a Processor
CAUTION
Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed by
unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not be lit (see
Figure 3 on page 20). Failure to do so could damage the processor and the board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the precautions in "
Before You Begin" on page 23.
2. Open the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket (
