Step 3. Lock the assembly to the socket by rotating the cam on the socket 180 degrees clockwise, using a

2.5 mm driver (Allen wrench).

CAUTION When rotating the locking cam, hold the palm of your hand on top of the assembly

and exert light pressure. This ensures that the assembly stays flush and level to the

socket while it is being tightened.

Step 4. Plug in the processor cable to its socket on the extender board.

Step 5. Place the sequencer frame over the processor.

Step 6. Using your fingers, hand-tighten the 2 knurled thumbscrews on the sequencer frame just until the

screw stops turning.

CAUTION Do not tighten the other 4 shoulder screws until you have first hand-tightened the 2

knurled thumbscrews.

Step 7. Using the supplied Torx T15 driver, tighten the 4 remaining T15 shoulder screws until they just

bottom out. Follow the tightening sequence shown in Figure 3, “Installing Processor on Extender

Board.”

CAUTION Do not overtighten the 4 shoulder screws—they may shear off if overtightened. Stop

tightening the shoulder screws when you feel them just bottom out.

Step 8. Using the supplied Torx T15 driver, finish tightening the 2 thumbscrews.
