Install a Processor
• Use ESD gloves (not latex or vinyl), if possible, when handling the processor.
• Obtain a torque driver set to 12 in-lb (inch-pound or 1.35 Nm/13.5 kg-cm) force
with a T20 Torx bit for processor and heatsink installation.
• All of the old thermal interface material (TIM) should have been removed. Failure
to remove/replace the old TIM can result in processor overheating.
• Be careful not to touch the processor socket pins.
Caution:
The processor socket pins are very fragile. A light touch can bend the
processor socket pins beyond repair.
• If you are replacing a processor, ensure that the replacement processor is identical
to the processor that was removed. A list of supported processors can be found in
the Owner's Guide.
1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the
chassis.
See Take Antistatic Measures.
2. Open the new processor package.
Ensure that the replacement processor is identical to the processor that was
removed.
The processor comes preinstalled on a special carrier to ensure safe handling. Do
not remove the processor from its carrier.
