Attention

• Do not allow the thermal grease on the microprocessor and heat sink to come in contact with anything. Contact with any surface can compromise the thermal grease and the microprocessor socket.
• Use the vacuum tool that comes with the replacement microprocessor to remove the microprocessor. Dropping the microprocessor during installation or removal can damage the contacts.
• Do not touch the microprocessor contacts; handle the microprocessor by the edges only. Contaminants on the microprocessor contacts, such as oil from your skin, can cause connection failures between the contacts and the socket.
