7.
Lift the microprocessor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor.
Figure 6-11. Removing the Microprocessor
8.
Unpack the new microprocessor.
If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see "
Getting Help
," for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.
9.
Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor (see
) with the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor socket.
Identify the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor by locating the tiny gold triangle that extends from one corner of the large central rectangular area. The
gold triangle points toward pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a square pad.

10.
Install the microprocessor in the socket (see
).
If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way up, move it to that position now.
With the pin-1 corners of the microprocessor and socket aligned, set the microprocessor lightly in the socket and make sure all pins are matched with
the correct holes in the socket. Because the system uses a ZIF micro-processor socket, there is no need to use force (which could bend the pins if the
microprocessor is misaligned). When the microprocessor is positioned correctly, it should drop down into the socket with minimal pressure.
When the microprocessor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the microprocessor.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the
microprocessor.
NOTE:
Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the microprocessor correctly.
CAUTION:
Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the microprocessor and the system when you turn on the system.
When placing the microprocessor in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the microprocessor go into the corresponding holes. Be careful not
to bend the pins.
