    conducting screw is loose, 
    arcing can occur, damaging 
    the processor. 
    Important: 
     If you are 
    installing a new processor, 
    use the screw included in the 
    processor box. Install the 
    screw in the screw hole 
    exposed by the heatsink, as 
    shown in the illustration. Be 
    sure to tighten the screw 
    snugly, but do not
