Installing a Processor
CAUTION
Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed
by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not
be lit (see Figure 4 on page 24). Failure to do so could damage the processor and the
board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1.
Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 31.
2.
Unlatch the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket
(Figure 10, A and B).
