NOTICE:
Microprocessor pins are delicate. To avoid damage, ensure that the microprocessor aligns properly with the socket, and do not use excessive
force when you install the processor.
NOTICE:
To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network wall jack and then plug it into the computer.
NOTE:
It is recommended that only a technically knowledgeable person perform this procedure.
CAUTION:
The processor can get very hot during normal operation. Ensure that the processor has had sufficient time to cool before you touch it.
