CAUTION: Before you begin the following procedure, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the processor, hold the screwdriver so that it is perpendicular to the processor when turning the cam screw.
1
ZIF-socket cam screw
2
ZIF socket
NOTICE: 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.
NOTICE: When removing the processor module, pull the module straight up. Be careful not to bend the pins on the processor module.
CAUTION: Before you begin the following procedure, follow the safety instructions that shipped with your computer.
NOTICE: Do not touch the processor die. Press and hold the processor down on the substrate on which the die is mounted while turning the cam
screw to prevent intermittent contact between the cam screw and processor.

This procedure assumes that you have completed the removal procedure Removing the Processor Module.

1. Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, then insert the processor module.
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.

to the microprocessor and ZIF socket.
NOTE: If you are installing a new processor, 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 a tech sheet to illustrate proper installation.
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.
