CAUTION: To ensure maximum cooling for the processor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the processor thermal-cooling assembly. The
oils in your skin can reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.

CAUTION: When removing the processor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.

4.

Lift the processor module from the ZIF socket.

Replacing the Processor

NOTE: If a new processor 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.

Follow the procedures in Before You Begin.

2.

Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, then insert 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 avoid damage to the processor, hold the screwdriver perpendicular to the processor when turning the cam screw.

3.

Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor module to the system board.

4.

Replace the processor heat sink assembly (see Replacing the Processor Heat Sink Assembly).

CAUTION: Before turning on the computer, replace all screws and ensure that no stray screws remain inside the computer. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the computer.
