Installing the processor

Ensure that the release lever on the processor socket is fully extended in the open position. Align the notches on the processor with
the tabs on the processor socket and place the processor in the processor socket [1].
NOTE:
If the processor is replaced, use the thermal grease provided in the kit to ensure that thermal conductivity is
