NOTICE:
Socket pins are delicate. To avoid damage, ensure that the processor is aligned properly with
the socket, and do not use excessive force when you install the processor. Be careful not to touch or
bend the pins on the system board.
4 Set the processor lightly in the socket and ensure that the processor is level in the socket.
When the processor is positioned correctly, press it with minimal pressure to seat it.
5 When the processor is fully seated in the socket, close the processor cover.

processor.

NOTICE:

when you replace the processor.
If you installed a processor replacement kit from Dell, return the original heat sink assembly
and processor to Dell in the same package in which your replacement kit was sent.

clip.
