WARNING:
The processor is hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down.

the tab.

The socket pins are fragile and can be permanently damaged. Be careful not to
bend the pins in the socket when removing the processor out of the socket.

NOTE:
If you are permanently removing the processor, you must install a socket protective cap in the
vacant socket to protect the socket pins and keep the socket free of dust.

After removing the processor, place it in an anti-static container for reuse, return, or temporary
storage. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Touch only the side edges of the processor.
