4.After removing the plastic cap, using your thumb and the index finger, hold the CPU at the north and south center edges.
5.Align the CPU key, the semi- circle cutout, against the socket key, the notch below the gold color dot on the side of the socket.
6.Once both the CPU and the socket are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. (Do not rub the CPU against the surface of the socket or its pins to avoid dam- aging the CPU or the socket.)
7.With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that the CPU is properly installed.
8.Once the CPU is securely seated on the socket, lower the CPU load plate to the socket.
9.Use your thumb to gently push the socket clip down to the clip lock.
Warning: Please save the plastic cap. The mother- board must be shipped with the plastic cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment with- out the plastic cap properly installed will cause dam- age to the socket pins.
