Figure 5-1. 604-pin PGA Socket: Empty and with Processor Installed
Warning!
Make sure you lift the lever completely when
installing the CPU. If the lever is only partly raised, damage
to the socket or CPU may result.
!
4. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the CPU die and place the
heatsink directly on the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with
those on the chassis. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat on the CPU -
if not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade the heat
dissipation function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to
overheat.
5. Screw in two diagonal screws until just snug (do not fully tighten), then do
the same with the remaining two diagonal screws. Finish by fully tightening all
four screws (see Figure 5-2).
6. If installing two processors, repeat these steps to install the second
processor in the CPU #2 slot.
