The failing system board must be returned with a microprocessor socket cover to protect the pins during
shipping and handling.

Microprocessor socket cover installation procedure

1. After you have removed the microprocessor from the failing system board, close the microprocessor

retainer. Then, put the lever to the locked position to secure the retainer in place.

2. Note the orientation of the socket cover, and install one side of the socket cover into the microprocessor

socket. Carefully press the other side of the socket cover downward until the socket cover snaps into
position.

Note:

The microprocessor socket cover might look slightly different from the illustration.

3. Carefully check the four corners of the socket cover to ensure that the cover is seated securely.

4. Follow any additional instructions that are included with the replacement part you received.
