The Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket uses a lever that makes it simpler and safer to install the microprocessor on the motherboard. This socket also makes it easy to remove the microprocessor 40 from the motherboard without damaging the pins located on the underside of the microprocessor or the microprocessor itself.
To install the processor in the ZIF socket :
1. Check the voltage requirements from the motherboard and the microprocessor documentation.
2. Wear an anti-static wristband.
3. Place the motherboard on the work desk.
4. Take the microprocessor out from the anti-static bag by holding the microprocessor at the edges.
5. Check that all the pins on the underside of the microprocessor are straight.
6. Locate the socket where the microprocessor must be installed
Location to Install the Microprocessor
7. Find the lever located besides the socket for the microprocessor.
Viewing the Lever
8. Raise the lever so that it is at the right angle with the motherboard.
9. Align the notch on the microprocessor with the alignment notch on the motherboard.
Aligning the Microprocessor
10. Gently, place the microprocessor in the socket.
11. Press the microprocessor firmly in the socket keeping in mind that no damage is caused to the pins.
12. Push the lever back down such that it is parallel to the motherboard and locked in place, taking care not to break the lever while lowering it .
