• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems.
• Do not touch the processor contacts. Contaminants on the processor contacts, such as oil from your skin,
can cause connection failures.
Note: The heat sink, processor, and processor carrier for your system might be different from those shown
in the illustrations.
