Attention: Make sure that the release lever on the microprocessor socket is in the fully open position before you insert the microprocessor in the socket. Failure to do so might result in permanent damage to the microprocessor, microprocessor socket, and system board. c. Rotate the release lever on the microprocessor socket from its closed and locked position to its fully open position. Microprocessor release lever (fully open) Microprocessor bracket frame Attention: v Do not use excessive force when pressing the microprocessor into the socket. v Make sure that the microprocessor is oriented and aligned with land number 1 in the socket before you try to close the lever. d. Align the microprocessor with the socket (note the alignment mark and the position of the notches); then, carefully place the microprocessor on the socket and close the microprocessor bracket frame. Microprocessor Alignment marks Microprocessor release lever Microprocessor socket e. Carefully close the release lever to secure the microprocessor in the socket. 9. Install the heat sink. Attention: Do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink or set down the heat sink after you remove the plastic cover. Touching the thermal grease will contaminate it. a. Make sure that the heat-sink lever is in the open position. b. Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the heat sink. c. Align the heat sink above the microprocessor with the thermal-grease side down. Press firmly on the heat sink. 50 System x3400 Types 7973, 7974, 7975, and 7976: User's Guide
