Locking the Lever to Install the Microprocessor

Hands on exercise

The Low Insertion Force (LIF) socket does not have a lever to install the microprocessor. We must force the microprocessor into the motherboard socket to install it.

To install the processor in the LIF 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.

7. Align the notch on the microprocessor with the alignment notch on the motherboard.

8. Gently place the microprocessor in the socket.

9. Use force to press the microprocessor firmly in the socket keeping in mind that no damage is caused to the pins. The microprocessors for Pentium II, Pentium III, and Celeron are available a card with the microprocessor installed on it. To install these microprocessors, we must fix the card holding the microprocessor in the slot on the motherboard.

To install the processor in the slot:

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. Locate the slot where the microprocessor must be installed

5. Affix the plastic retention brackets on the motherboard, if not already installed.

6. Take the microprocessor out of the anti-static bag.

7. Hold the microprocessor perpendicular to the motherboard over the slot.

8. Align the microprocessor with the plastic retention brackets.

9. Slide the processor carefully in the motherboard slot

10. Pull the lever on the microprocessor outward, if required, to lock the microprocessor to the plastic retention brackets
