Replacing or adding a processor 61
To install the new processor:
1 Hold the new processor over the empty processor socket and make sure
that pin 1 on both the processor and the socket are aligned. Pin 1 is near
the cut out corner.
2 Gently place the new processor into the socket.
3 Secure the processor by lowering the locking lever until the lever latches
into place. The processor will slip into place without pressure when
aligned correctly.
To replace the heat sink:
1 Replace the heat sink by hooking the metal clip on the heat sink to the
tabs on the processor socket. Make sure the heat sink is level with the
processor and the metal clips are securely attached.
2 Close the case (see “Closing the case” on page 23).
3 Reconnect the power cord and all other cords you removed, then turn
on the system.
