EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard
Preparing the Motherboard
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the bottom of the processor.
1.Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
2.Put your finger on the tail of the load and plate and press down with light pressure to lift the load plate up.
3.Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover within the CPU socket to protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.
4.Remove the protective socket cover from the CPU Socket.
Note: Remove the process from its protective cover, making sure you hold it only by the edges. It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU you have a safe place to store it.
