blank and the processor blank from the vacant processor socket. Removing
the blanks is similar to removing a processor. See "Removing a Processor."

Unpack the processor if it has not been used previously.
If the processor has already been used, remove any thermal grease from the
top of the processor using a lint-free cloth.

Open the grease packet included with the processor kit and apply a
small amount (approximately 1.5 cm (.6 in) in diameter of thermal
grease to the center of the top of the new processor.
CAUTION: Using excess thermal grease can cause grease to contact the
processor shield, which can cause contamination of the processor socket.
c
