    with the tab on the processor holder, as illustrated. Then lower the processor straight down onto 
    the socket.
    Replacement Note: Make sure the two logic board bumpers by the upper processor are in place 
    before you reinstall the heatsinks. 
    Note: Unlike in earlier Power Mac G5 computers, replacing a processor in Mac Pro does not 
    require running Apple Service Diagnostic for thermal calibration..
