CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Socket pins are delicate. To avoid damage, ensure that the processor is aligned properly with the processor socket, and do not use
excessive force when you install the processor. Be careful not to touch or bend the pins on the system board.
CAUTION: You must position the processor correctly in the processor socket to avoid permanent damage to the processor.
NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the processor has a triangle that aligns with the triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.
