8. Lift the microprocessor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new microprocessor (see Figure6-13).

9. Unpack the new microprocessor.

If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see "Getting Help" for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.

10. If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way up, move it to that position now.

11. Align the gold triangle on the microprocessor (see Figure6-13) with the triangle on the microprocessor socket.

12. Install the microprocessor in the socket (see Figure6-13).

13. When the microprocessor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the microprocessor.

14. Place the new heat sink on top of the microprocessor (see Figure6-12).

15. Orient the microprocessor cover as shown in Figure6-12.

16. Hook the end of the cover over the retention tabs on the edge of the microprocessor enclosure (see Figure6-12).

17. Swing the microprocessor cover down.

18. Rotate the side release lever down to secure the cover to the side of the microprocessor enclosure (see Figure6-12).

19. Rotate the front release lever down to secure the cover to the front of the microprocessor enclosure (see Figure6-12).

20. If you are adding additional microprocessors, install the VRM in the corresponding VRM socket, pushing down firmly to make sure that the ejectors

engage (see Figure6-14).

21. Replace the microprocessor tray (see "Replacing the Microprocessor Tray").

22. Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn on the system.

As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new microprocessor(s) and automatically changes the system configuration information in the

NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when removing the microprocessor. Bending the pins can permanently damage the microprocessor.

NOTE: Zero insertion force is needed to install the microprocessor. If the microprocessor is aligned correctly, it should drop into the microprocessor

socket.

NOTICE: Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the microprocessor and the system when you turn on the system. When

placing the microprocessor in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the microprocessor go into the corresponding holes. Be careful not to bend the

pins.
