HP Smart Socket Guide
The HP Smart Socket Guide (Figure 4) provides ease and simplicity of processor installation or upgrade. You get quick,
precise processor installation and lower risk of downtime due to improper installation or replacement. Other non-HP
systems use only a clamping mechanism prone to socket damage due do mishandling or poor processor placement. The
HP Smart Socket Guide is a precision guidance mechanism that ensures the processor is correctly keyed and placed
within the socket.
