Installing a processor
To avoid difficulty in installing computer processor, don’t forget to take note of the following: Turn off the computer and unplug all connections and make sure to write down the important information from the processor like the model and serial numbers and other specifics.
If another processor has already been previously installed, it must be detached first before installing a new processor. If the processor comes with a heat sink, remove the heat sink first.
You don’t have to remove the heat sink if the processor is a slot processor. A slot processor may be removed by locating two tabs on either side of the processor, then carefully shift the slots outward to easily take out the processor.
