NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the processor

NOTICE: Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the processor down on the substrate on which the die is
mounted while turning the cam screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.
NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the processor module. Seating the
processor module properly in the ZIF socket does not require force. A processor module that is not properly seated can
result in an intermittent connection or permanent damage to the microprocessor and ZIF socket.
NOTE: If you are installing a new processor, you will receive a new thermal-cooling assembly which will include an
affixed thermal pad, or you will receive a new thermal pad along with a tech sheet to illustrate proper installation.
This procedure assumes that you have completed the removal procedure Removing the Processor Module .
1. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, then insert the processor

of the ZIF socket.
When the processor module is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners
of the module are higher than the others, the module is not seated properly.
