Figure 3-12 ZIF Socket
CAUTION:
The ZIF socket for the processor is locked and unlocked by half a full turn of
the processor install tool. The counterclockwise 180 degree rotation (half turn) unlocks the
socket. A clockwise 180 degree rotation locks the socket. Attempting to turn the locking
mechanism more than 180 degrees can severely damage the socket.
8.
Remove any protective packaging from the processor.
NOTE:
Protective covers are installed to protect connector pins. Save these covers for future
use.
9.
Inspect the processor pins to verify the pins are not bent.
10. Align the alignment holes on the processor with the alignment posts on the processor cage,
and carefully lower the processor onto the processor socket.
Figure 3-11 (page 55)
shows
the alignment holes and posts on the processor and system board.
CAUTION:
Do not press the processor into the socket. When properly aligned, the processor
pins seat into the socket. No additional pressure is required. Damage to the pins may occur
if pressure is applied.
11. Lock the processor into the socket on the processor board.
a.
Remove the processor install tool (2.5 mm driver) from the tool holder on the airflow
guide.
b.
Insert the processor tool into the hole that runs down the side of the heatsink.
c.
Rotate the processor tool clockwise 180 degrees to lock the ZIF socket.
d.
Refasten the processor install tool (2.5 mm driver) to the tool holder on the airflow
guide.
12. Connect the processor power cable into the connector cable that attaches directly to the
system board.
Figure 3-13 (page 57)
shows the processor power cable connectors.
