Microprocessor Securing Clip
4.
Remove the microprocessor chip from the socket.
Your microprocessor socket is a zero insertion force
(ZIF) socket with a lever-type handle that secures the
chip in, or releases it from, the socket.
To remove the chip, pull the microprocessor-socket
release lever straight up until the chip is released (see
Figure 6-10). Then lift the chip out of the socket.
Leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready
for the new microprocessor.

5.
Unpack the new microprocessor.
If any of the pins on the chip appear to be bent, see
the chapter titled “Getting Help” in your
Diagnostics
and Troubleshooting Guide
for instructions on obtain-
ing technical assistance.
6.
Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor chip
(see Figure 6-11) with the pin-1 corner of the
microprocessor socket (see Figure 6-12).
NOTE: Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to
positioning the chip correctly.
Identify the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor by
turning the chip over and locating the tiny gold fin-
ger that extends from one corner of the large central
rectangular area. The gold finger points toward
pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a square
pad.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend any of the
pins when removing the microprocessor chip
from its socket. Bending the pins can perma-
nently damage the microprocessor chip.
