Instructions on how to install the processor on the Desktop Board are given below.

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 23). 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 27.
2. Unlatch the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket

(Figure 6, A and B).
