Figure 4-24. Removing a Microprocessor
5. Lift the microprocessor out of its socket.
To install the replacement microprocessor/heat sink assembly, ensure that the
microprocessor release lever is in its fully vertical position to allow the micro-
processor pins to easily slip into the socket. When the microprocessor/heat sink
assembly is in place, rotate the microprocessor release lever to its horizontal
position. Hook the microprocessor securing clip over the socket tab nearest the
front of the system board, and then snap it over the tab on the back of the socket.
Pin 1 on the microprocessor is located on the corner with the largest bevel and
the top of the chip has a dot (see Figure 4-25). The pin-1 hole in the micro-
processor socket is located on the corner where the holes are in a diagonal
pattern.
