Processors in a non-operational state may be installed in a platform, in a tray, boxed, or loose and may be sealed in airtight package or exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor landings should not be connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks. Upon exposure to "free air" (that is, unsealed packaging or a device removed from packaging material), the processor should be handled in accordance with moisture sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the packaging material. Boxed Land Grid Array packaged (LGA) processors are MSL 1 ('unlimited' or unaffected) as they are not heated in order to be inserted in the socket.
