socket goes through the hole in the heatsink.
Caution
The processor only fits the socket when oriented as indicated. Do not force
the processor into the socket to avoid bending the pins or damaging the processor.
If the processor does not fit completely, check its orientation and check for bent
pins.
Caution
The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom
of it. Use caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM.
If you are reusing the original heatsink, make sure that the TIM on the bottom of
the heatsink is not damaged. If the TIM is damaged, you should remove the old
TIM and, then apply new TIM to the bottom of the heatsink.
