2.Align pin-1 (the beveled corner) of the microprocessor package and pin-1 of the socket.

NOTICE: The microprocessor pins are delicate. To avoid damage, ensure that the microprocessor aligns properly with the socket, and do not use excessive force when installing the processor.

3.Carefully set the microprocessor in the socket and press it down lightly to seat it.

4.Rotate the lever back toward the system board until it snaps into place, securing the microprocessor package.

5.If you are installing a new heat sink, remove the film covering the bottom of the heat sink.

6.Lower the heat sink to the microprocessor so that the heat sink fits in the retention base.
