To install the CPUs:

Socket for CPU1
2.Carefully insert the CPU into the socket as shown until it fits in place.
The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!
3.Carefully push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
4.Apply the thermal interface material (thermal grease) to the top of the CPU. This thermal grease should come with the CPU package.
5.Repeat steps 1 to 4 if you wish to install a second CPU.
