The CPU that you use with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase the correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system. To install a CPU, locate the ZIF socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown on the previous page. The notched corner should point toward the end of the lever. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force is required to insert the CPU. Press the lever to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
