Processor configuration guidelines

• Before removing the processor, make sure to back up all important
system files.
• Handle the processor and the HSF assembly carefully. Damage to
either may prevent the system from functioning properly.
Note: A long-nosed screwdriver is needed to remove/install the HSF
assembly
