Installing System Components

CAUTION:

Be careful not to bend any of the pins on the ZIF socket when removing

the processor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the system board.

12 Carefully, lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up

so that the socket is ready for the new processor.

Installing a Processor

1 Unpack the new processor.
2 Align the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See

Figure 3-16.

CAUTION:

Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the

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

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 Open the grease packet included with your processor kit and apply thermal

grease evenly to the top of the new processor.

8 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-16.
9 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the heat-sink retention screws.

See Figure 3-15.

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

page 74.

11 Replace the expansion card stabilizer. See "Installing the Expansion Card

Stabilizer" on page 72.

12 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 58.
13 Reconnect the system and peripherals to their power sources, and turn

them on.
