Installing System Components
4 Install the processor in the socket.
NOTICE:
Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
system board or the processor when you turn it on. When placing the processor in
the socket, be careful not to bend the pins in the socket. Avoid touching the socket
pins or the pads on the processor when handling the processor or the system
board.
a If the release lever on the processor socket is not positioned all the
way up, move it to that position.
b With the processor and the socket keys aligned, set the processor
lightly in the socket.
NOTICE:
Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is positioned
correctly, it engages easily into the socket.
c Close the processor shield. See Figure 3-35.
d When the processor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket
release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the
processor. See Figure 3-35.
5 Install the heat sink.
NOTE:
If you did not receive a replacement heat sink, re-use the heat sink
that you removed from the old processor.
a If you receive a heat sink and pre-applied thermal grease with your
processor kit, remove the protective sheet from the thermal grease
layer on top of the heat sink.
If you did not receive a replacement heat sink with your processor kit,
do the following:
• Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the
heat sink removed from the old processor.
• Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply
thermal grease evenly to the top of the new processor. See
Figure 3-34.
b Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-34.
c Lower the heat-sink retainers over the edges of the heat sink. One at
a time, press the tabs on the retainers down and inward until they
lock into place, securing the heat sink.
