removed by unplugging the power cord from the computer; the standby power LED
should not be lit (see

processor and the board.
To install a processor, follow these instructions:
1. Observe the precautions in "
Before You Begin" on page 25.
2. Open the socket lever by pushing the lever down and away from the socket
(
