NOTE: After removing the processor, place it in an antistatic container for reuse, return, or temporary 
storage. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Touch only the side edges of the processor.

NOTE: If you are permanently removing the processor, you must install a socket protective cap in the vacant 
socket to protect the socket pins and keep the socket free of dust.
