Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and severely damage the CPU!

To install a CPU:

1.Unlock the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90¡-100¡ angle.

Make sure that the socket lever is pushed back all the way; otherwise the CPU does not fit in completely.

3. Position the CPU above the

 

socket such that the notched

 

corner matches the socket

 

corner with a triangle mark.

 

4. 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!
