6.Position the processor chip over the socket, aligning the notched edge of the chip (marked with a dot) with pin 1 on the socket, as shown below.

Caution

If you install the processor chip in the wrong orientation, you may damage the chip and void your warranty.

7.Make sure the pins in the processor chip are directly over the holes in the socket. Then gently push the microprocessor straight into the socket, pressing evenly on all sides.

If you are installing a 486 chip rather than a Pentium OverDrive processor, you’ll see an extra row of holes around the outside of the socket. The 486 chip does not occupy the outside row of holes.

8.Secure the processor chip by pressing the ZIF handle back to the closed position.
