Installing the Microprocessor Module 
NOTICE: Ensure that the cam lock is in the fully open position before seating 
the microprocessor module. Seating the microprocessor module properly in\
 the 
ZIF socket does not require force. 
NOTICE: A microprocessor module that is not properly seated can result in an 
intermittent connection or permanent damage to the microprocessor and ZI\
F 
socket. 
1.  Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor module with the pin-1 corne\
r of the  ZIF socket, and insert the microprocessor module. 
NOTE: The pin-1 corner of the microprocessor module has a triangle that aligns\
 
with the triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket. 
NOTICE: You must position the microprocessor module correctly in the ZIF 
socket to avoid permanent damage to the module and the socket. 
When the microprocessor module is correctly 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 correctly.
2.  Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the \
 microprocessor module to the system board. 
3.  Replace the other computer parts you removed earlier in this procedure. \
4.  Update the BIOS using a flash BIOS update program floppy disk or CD. For\
  instructions on how to flash the BIOS, see 
Flashing the BIOS.
