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 4 on page 22). 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. Open the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket
(Figure 9, A and B).
