NOTE:
If a new processor module is installed, you will receive a new processor heat-
sink assembly, which will include an affixed thermal pad, or you will receive a new
thermal pad along with documentation to illustrate proper installation.
Procedure

Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket,

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.
When the processor module is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the
same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others, the
module is not seated properly.

To avoid damage to the processor module, hold the
screwdriver perpendicular to the processor module when turning the

Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor
