Removing the Microprocessor

NOTICE:

Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal at the back of the

computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.

HINT:

Some computers come with only two extra alignment screws; others come with four. You only need two alignment screws for this procedure.

CAUTION:

Match the colored strip on the cable with pin 1 on the drive (pin 1 is marked as "1").

NOTICE:

To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then plug it into the computer.
