Installing System Components


1 Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.

If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from
the top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

2 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure

3-8.

CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the
system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the ZIF socket.

3 With the release lever on the processor socket in the open position,

align the processor with the socket keys and set the processor lightly in
the socket. See Figure 3-8.

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

positioned correctly, it engages easily into the socket.

4 Close the processor shield.
5 Rotate the socket release lever down until it snaps into place.
6 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat

sink.

7 Apply thermal grease evenly to the center of the top of the new

processor.

CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the

processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.

8 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-7.
9 Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat-sink retention screws. See

Figure 3-7.

10 Replace the system-board assembly. See "Installing a System-Board

Assembly" on page 93.

11 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system,

including any attached peripherals.

12 Press to enter the System Setup program, and check that the

processor information matches the new system configuration. See
"System Setup Options at Boot" on page 38.
