Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.
CPU Socket Lever
Step 1:
Completely raise the CPU socket lever.
Step 3:
Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate. (To protect the CPU socket, always replace the protective socket cover when the CPU is not installed.)
Step 5:
Once the CPU is properly inserted, replace the load plate and push the CPU socket lever back into its locked position.
Step 2:
Lift the metal load plate from the CPU socket. (DO NOT touch socket contacts.)
Step 4:
Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers. Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one corner of the CPU socket (or you may align the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys) and gently insert the CPU into position.
