Installing and Removing the Processor
Installing the Processor
To install the processor, follow these steps:
1. See the illustration in “Motherboard Overview” in Chapter 1 for the location of the processor
socket.
2. Pull the ZIF handle sideways away from the socket then upward to 90-degree angles.
3. Locate the new processor you are installing over the socket so that the marked with triangle
corner on the processor can be aligned with the first blank corner on the socket. Then gently
push the processor straight into the socket until its pins are completely inserted into the holes of
the socket.
NOTE
According to processor type, your actual process may be slightly different from one described
below.
WARNING
A processor you plan to install should have a fan type heatsink attached to it to prevent
overheating. If there is no fan type heatsink, the processor may overheat and cause damage to both
the processor and motherboard.
