When handling the processor package, avoid placing

direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding,

removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the

processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU Socket pins are bent; other-
