Use the edge of the package that the alcohol wipes came in as a spatula to smoothly spread
the thermal grease evenly over the entire top surface of the processor. Scrape off any excess
grease with the package edge, then discard it.
Holding the processor by its edges only, replace the processor into its holder on the logic
board, being careful not to get any thermal grease on the contacts of either the processor or
its socket holder.
Note: When installing the processor on the logic board, align the processor notch with the
tab on the processor holder, as illustrated. Then lower the processor straight down onto the
socket.
