Reassembly Notes
Caution
•
Align the IC with the slot in the socket. The IC is keyed to fit correctly. If you insert the IC
backward, the IC or motherboard could be damaged.
•
Press down firmly on the IC with your thumb to ensure a proper connection.
•
Fold the keyboard back into place. Slip its front tabs into the slots, then snap the back edge into
place.
•
Push the keyboard toward the back as you tighten the two screws. This helps engage the tab at the
back-center of the keyboard.
•
Reprogram the IC by programming the BIOS—see the note above.
