NOTE:The numbers on the image do not depict the exact steps. The numbers are for representation of sequence.
Installing the processor:
Place the processor in the processor tray.
NOTE:Ensure the pin 1 indicator on the processor tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.
Place the retaining clip on top of the processor in the processor tray aligning pin 1 indicator on the processor.
NOTE:Ensure the pin 1 indicator on the retaining clip is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before placing the retaining clip on the processor.
NOTE:Before you install the heat sink, ensure to place the processor and retaining clip in the tray.
Align the processor with retaining clip, by using your fingers press the retaining clip on all the four sides until it clicks into place.
NOTE:Ensure that the processor is securely latched to the retaining clip.
If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
Use the thermal grease syringe included with your processor kit to apply the grease in a thin spiral design on the bottom of the heat sink.
CAUTION:Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and contaminating the processor socket.
NOTE:The thermal grease syringe is intended for single use only. Dispose the syringe after you use it.
For new heat sink, remove the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) protective film from the base of heat sink.

Ensure that the pin 1 indicator on the heat sink is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the retaining clip before placing the heat sink onto the retaining clip.
Installing a memory module:
Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
CAUTION: Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the memory module or metallic contacts.
If a memory module is installed in the socket, remove it.
NOTE:Ensure that the socket ejector latches are fully open, before installing the memory module.
Align the edge connector of the memory module with the alignment key of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the memory module or the memory module socket during installation, do not bend or flex the memory module; insert both ends of the memory module simultaneously.
