Note in the illustration that the CPU and the terminator have marks (usually a notch or a gold mark on one corner) to help you identify the proper orientation and enable you to correctly install them. It is important that you match the marked corner of the CPU and terminator with the corresponding corner on the socket so as not to damage the CPU pins.

NOTE: Do not forget to set the correct Bus Frequency and Multiple (frequency multiple setting is available only on unlocked processors) for the processor to avoid start-up problems.
