Removing and Installing Parts 151

Extend the release lever on the socket fully.

NOTICE: You must position the processor correctly in the socket to avoid

permanent damage to the processor and the computer when you turn on the

computer.

Align the pin-1 corner of the processor and socket.

NOTICE: To avoid damage, ensure that the processor aligns properly with the

socket, and do not use excessive force when you install the processor.

Set the processor lightly in the socket and ensure that the processor is

positioned correctly.

While lightly pressing down on the processor, rotate the release lever back

toward the system board until it snaps into place, securing the processor.

Clean the thermal grease from the bottom of the heat sink.

NOTICE: Ensure that you apply new thermal grease. New thermal grease is critical

for ensuring adequate thermal bonding, which is a requirement for optimal

processor operation.

Apply the new thermal grease to the top of the processor.

NOTICE: Ensure that the floppy drive and audio cables are not routed so that they

are pinched when the heat sink assembly is installed.
