Important: Do not touch the gold contacts on the bottom of the microprocessor. If you must touch the
microprocessor, touch only the sides.
7. Lift the microprocessor straight up and out of the socket.
Notes:
a. Your microprocessor and socket might look different than the one illustrated.
b. Note the orientation of the microprocessor in the socket. Look for the small triangle on one corner of
the microprocessor. This is important when reinstalling the microprocessor on the new system board.
c. Do not drop anything onto the microprocessor socket while it is exposed. The socket pins must be
kept as clean as possible.
8. Make sure that the microprocessor retainer is fully open.
9. Holding the microprocessor with your ngers, position the microprocessor so that the small triangle on
one corner is aligned with the corresponding triangle on the microprocessor socket.
