socket, then lift it up to a 90°-100° angle.

 

Ensure that the socket lever is lifted up to a 90°-100° angle; otherwise, the APU will not fit in completely.

3.Position the APU above the socket such that the APU corner with the gold triangle matches the socket corner with a small triangle.

4. Carefully insert the APU into the socket until it fits in place.

The APU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the APU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the APU!
