2 Remove the processor from the packing material by the processor's edges only. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Handle the processor carefully with your fingers on the side edges. Place your hand beneath the processor when you are moving it to the system. 3 Locate the pin 1 indicator on the system board socket. 4 Locate the pin 1 indicator on the top of the processor. The pin 1 indicator is shown as a triangle on the top of the processor. See Figure 3-30. CAUTION: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor. Be careful not to bend the pins in the socket. 5 Place the processor over the socket with each pin 1 aligned and level. See Figure 3-30. 6 Align the notches in the processor with the socket keys on the ZIF socket. See Figure 3-30. 7 Install the processor in the socket. Keep the processor level (see Figure 3-30) and insert it straight down into the socket. Allow the processor to float on the pins, allowing the processor shield to hold it in place. 8 Verify that the processor is properly aligned and seated. 9 Close the processor shield. See Figure 3-30. 10 Rotate the socket-release lever down until it snaps into place. See Figure 3-30. 11 Using a clean lint-free cloth, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink. CAUTION: Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket. 12 Open the grease applicator included with your processor kit and apply all of the thermal grease in the applicator to the center of the topside of the new processor. 13 Place the heat sink on the processor. See Figure 3-29. 14 Close the heat-sink release levers. See Figure 3-29. 15 Install the cooling fan assembly. See "Installing the Cooling Fan Assembly" on page 120. 16 Install the memory risers.
