Upgrading the CPU
CAUTION!
Before installing or removing a processor, make sure the AC power has been removed
by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED should not be
lit. Failure to do so could damage the processor and the board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Unlatch the processor socket lever by pushing it down and away from the socket.
(Figure 7, A, B)

2. Rotate the socket lever to lift the load plate away from the socket (Figure 22, A).
Make sure that the load plate is in the fully open position (Figure 22, B) while being
careful not to damage adjacent components. Do not touch the socket contacts.
