Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Socket
To install an upgrade CPU, do the following.

is up. To raise the handle, push down, pull it out to
the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. The
top plate will slide back. Do not use screwdrivers or
other tools to open the socket, or damage may occur
to the system or socket. It may be necessary to
initially apply a small amount of sideways force to
free the handle from its retaining “tab.” Once clear
of the “tab,” the handle will open relatively easily.
