Follow the instructions in "Preparing to Work Inside Your Computer."2. Remove the keyboard.3. Remove the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly.4. Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to rotate the ZIF-socket cam screw counterclockwise until it comes to the cam stop.5. Lift out the microprocessor module.Installing the Microprocessor ModuleCAUTION: Before performing the following procedures, read the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.NOTICE: To prevent damage to components inside your computer, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer'selectronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.NOTICE: Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the microprocessor down on the substrate on which the die is mounted while turning the camscrew to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and microprocessor.NOTICE: To avoid damage to the microprocessor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the microprocessor when turning the cam screw.NOTICE: To ensure maximum cooling for the microprocessor, do not touch the heat transfer areas on the microprocessor thermal-cooling assembly. Theoils in your skin reduce the heat transfer capability of the thermal pads.NOTICE: When removing the microprocessor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the microprocessor module.1 ZIF socket cam screw2 pin-1 cornerNOTE: The ZIF-socket cam screw secures the microprocessor to the system board. Take note of the arrow on the ZIF-socket cam screw.NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating the microprocessor module. Seating the microprocessor module properly inthe ZIF socket does not require force.
