Figure 11 Closing the bracket and lever, removing cover
CAUTION: Be sure to close the processor socket
retaining bracket before closing the processor locking
lever. The lever should close without resistance. Forcing
the lever closed can damage the processor and socket,
requiring system board replacement.
For processor removal, reverse the above installation procedures
using the processor tool to remove the processor.
CAUTION: To prevent the heat sink from tilting to one side
during installation/removal, turn each screw a couple of
turns, alternatively between both of them, and then apply the
final torque. Do not over tighten the spring loaded screws to
prevent them from breaking off. A maximum torque of 4.5
inch-lb is set for each screw.
