2.1.2.3 Install the Processor
• Remove the processor from its package.
• Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the
CPU, taking care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
• Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts
match the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note the
location of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C).
Carefully place (Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
CAUTION :
The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive. Other than
the CPU, no object should make contact with the pins inside the
CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin may render the socket inoperable,
and will produce erroneous CPU or other system errors if used.
NOTE :
The underside of the processor has components that may damage the
socket pins if installed improperly. The processor must align correctly
with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the
processor into the socket.
NOTE :
When possible, a CPU insertion tool should be used when installing the
CPU.
