CAUTION:
To ensure maximum cooling for the processor module, do not touch the heat-transfer areas on the processor thermal cooling assembly.
The oils in your skin can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.
CAUTION:
When removing the processor module, lift the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.
NOTE:
If a new processor module is installed, you will receive a new thermal-cooling assembly, which will include an affixed thermal pad, or you will
receive a new thermal pad along with documentation to illustrate proper installation.
NOTE:
The pin-1 corner of the processor module has a triangle that aligns with the triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor module, hold the screwdriver perpendicular to the processor module when turning the cam screw.
CAUTION:
Before turning on the computer, replace all screws and ensure that no stray screws remain inside the computer. Failure to do so may
