WARNING:  
Before working inside your computer, read the safety 
information that shipped with your computer. For additional safety 
best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance 
Homepage at www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.
Procedure
 
NOTE: 
If a new processor module is installed, you will receive a new 
thermal-cooling assembly, which will include an affixed thermal pad, or you will 
receive a new thermal pad along with documentation to illustrate proper 
installation.
1
Align the pin-1 corner of the processor module with the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket, 
then place the processor module.
 
NOTE: 
The pin-1 corner of the processor module has a triangle that aligns with the 
triangle on the pin-1 corner of the ZIF socket.
When the processor module is properly seated, all four corners are aligned at the 
same height. If one or more corners of the module are higher than the others, the 
module is not seated properly.
 
CAUTION: 
To prevent intermittent contact between the ZIF-socket 
cam screw and the processor module when replacing the processor, 
press to apply slight pressure to the center of the processor module 
while turning the cam screw.
 
CAUTION: 
To avoid damage to the processor module, hold the 
screwdriver perpendicular to the processor module when turning the 
cam screw.
2
Tighten the ZIF socket by turning the cam screw clockwise to secure the processor 
module to the ZIF socket.
