Installing an Upgrade Processor
Install the upgrade processor as follows.
1.
Remove the processor from your system (see “Removing the
Processor” in the previous section).
Before picking up the processor, reduce static
discharge by touching the metal chassis.
2.
Align the notch on the corner of the processor with the notch on the
socket.
3.
Carefully align the processor pins with the socket pin holes and set
the processor into the socket.
!
If aligned correctly and the pins are not bent, the processor seats
in the socket without forcing.
!
If the processor does not seat, check for correct alignment and
bent pins.
4.
Pivot the lever down and press it in towards the socket until it locks
in place.
Using the wrong heat sink or no heat sink can
damage the processor, system board, or both. Ensure that the update
processor has the correct heat sink (refer to the documentation that comes
with the kit).
Additional information can be obtained from NECC (see Chapter 6,
“Getting Services and Support” for information on contacting NECC).
