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 fingers, position the microprocessor so that the small triangle on one corner is aligned with the corresponding triangle on the microprocessor socket. 10.
