Procedure
NOTE:
If a new processor module is installed, you will receive a new
thermal-cooling assembly, which will include an affixed thermal pad, or you
will receive a new thermal pad along with documentation to illustrate proper
installation.
1
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket,
then place the processor module.
NOTE:
The pin-1 corner of the processor module has a triangle that aligns with
the triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.
When the processor module is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the
same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others,
the module is not seated properly.
CAUTION:
To prevent intermittent contact between the ZIF-socket
cam screw and the processor module when replacing the processor,
press to apply slight pressure to the center of the processor module
while turning the cam screw.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the processor module, hold the
screwdriver perpendicular to the processor module when turning the
cam screw.
2
Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor
module to the ZIF socket.
