4. Carefully place the microprocessor into the microprocessor socket.
Note: To maintain the correct orientation between the microprocessor and the
microprocessor socket during installation, observe the following information:
v The microprocessor has two notches that are keyed to two tabs on the
sides of the socket.
v Make sure that the microprocessor 1 is oriented with the notches and
alignment marks 2 in the socket 4 before you try to close the lever 3.
v Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into the
socket.
5. Close the microprocessor bracket frame; then, close the microprocessor
release lever to lock the microprocessor securely in place.
6. Install the heat sink:
a. Make sure that the heat-sink locking lever is in the fully open position.
Important: Be careful when you handle the microprocessor and heat sink.
Do not contaminate the thermal material between them.
b. Slide the flange of the heat sink into the opening beneath the retainer
bracket.
