6. Lift the processor out of the socket and place it on
an anti-static surface outside the system unit. Hold
the processor by its edges and avoid touching the
metal pins.
Caution
If the processor does not lift easily out of the socket, do not
attempt to force it. Wait for the processor to cool down.
To fit the upgrade processor:
1. Ensure that the securing lever on the ZIF socket is
still in the upright position.
2. Take the upgrade processor out of its anti-static
packaging. Hold the processor by its edges and avoid
touching the metal pins.
The upgrade processor and the ZIF socket are keyed
to ensure that the processor is installed in the correct
orientation. One corner of the socket has a key hole.
The corresponding corner of the processor is slightly
bevelled and has a positioning guide in the form of a
coloured dot.
3. Place the processor in the socket, making sure that it
is correctly aligned and that you do not bend or
otherwise damage the pins.
