1.
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module so that it points to the triangle on the ZIF socket, and insert the processor module into the ZIF socket.
When the processor module is correctly seated, all four corners are aligned at the same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the
others, the module is not seated correctly.
2.
Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor module to the system board.
3.
Replace the processor thermal-cooling assembly (see
Processor Thermal-Cooling Assembly
).
4.
Update the BIOS using a flash BIOS-update program CD (see
Flashing the BIOS From a CD
).

If a new microprocessor is installed, you will receive one of the following: a new thermal-cooling assembly which will include an affixed thermal
