Preparing the Motherboard

Installing the CPU

Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or break any pins on the back. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the processor.

Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.

1.

Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from

 

 

the socket.

 

2.

Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover on

 

 

the load plate to protect the socket when there is no CPU

 

 

installed.

 

3.

Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.

 

4.

Remove the processor from its protective cover, making

 

 

sure you hold it only by the edges.

 

 

It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you

 

 

remove the CPU, you have a safe place to store it.

 

5.

Align the notches in the processor with the notches on

 

 

the socket.

 

6.

Lower the processor straight down into the socket

 

 

with out tilting or sliding it into the socket

 

 

 

 

Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.

 

Align notches with

 

 

 

notches on the CPU

 

 

 

 

7.Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you close and engage the socket lever.
