1 If you are installing a second processor in a socket that was previously

unoccupied, remove the heat sink blank and socket protective cap from

the vacant processor socket. See "Removing a Heat Sink Blank" on

page 155.

2 Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.
3 If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from the

top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

4 Align the processor with the socket keys on the processor socket.

See Figure 3-14.

CAUTION:

Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the

system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the processor
socket.

5 With the hook-shaped release and bent load levers on the processor socket

in the open position, match the processor with the alignment mark

indicator and the socket keys and set the processor lightly in the socket.

See Figure 3-14.

CAUTION:

Do not use force to seat the processor. When the processor is

positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

6 Close the processor shield.
7 Rotate the bent load lever down until it snaps into place.
8 Rotate the hook-shaped socket-release lever down until it snaps into place.

See Figure 3-14.

9 Replace the heat sink. See "Installing a Heat Sink" on page 154.

10 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 152.

11 Replace the sled. See "Installing a Sled" on page 144.
12 Press to enter the System Setup and check that the processor

information matches the new system configuration.
