The following diagrams will detail how to install your processor:
The diagram is provided as a visual guide to help you install socket processors and may not be an
exact representation of the processors you have.
1.
Lift the lever on the socket until it is approximately 90
o
or as far back as possible
to the socket.
2. Align the processor with the socket. There are keyed pins underneath the processor to
ensure that the processor’s installed correctly.
3. Seat the processor firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until the processor
sits flush with the socket.
4.
Place the socket lever back down until it locks into place.
5.
Your processor is installed.
Take care when installing the
processor as it has very fragile connector pins below the
processor that can bend and break if inserted improperly.
Heatsink Installation
After you are done installing the processor, you should proceed to installing the heatsink.
Heatsink will ensure that the processor not overheat and continue to operate at maximum
performance for as long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the health of
the motherboard.
Because there are many different types of heatsinks available from many different manufacturers,
a lot of them have their own method of installation. For the safest method of installation and
information on choosing the appropriate heatsink, please refer to INTEL’s website at
www.Intel.com.
