2.4.2 Installing the CPU

If you are installing two CPUs, it is more convenient to install in CPU socket 2 first.

Follow these steps to install a CPU.

1.Locate the 604-pin ZIF sockets on the motherboard. Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to at least 115° angle.

Make sure that the socket lever is lifted up to at least 115° angle, otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely.

2.Position the CPU above the socket as shown.

3.Carefully insert the CPU into the socket 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!

4.When the CPU is in place, push down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.
