1. To open the socket, turn the socket screw clockwise as far as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket and then follow the instructions that
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the following
procedure:
- Carefully align the CPU on top of the socket, making sure the
corner pin patterns of the CPU match the patterns on the socket.
- Gently place the CPU on top of the socket. It should insert easily.
If it does not insert easily, check that the socket screw is turned clockwise
as far as possible.
3. After the CPU has been inserted, turn the screw counter-clockwise as
far as it will go to lock the CPU into position. The top plate of the socket
should slide up into the locked position. You will feel some resistance
against the screw as the CPU pins tighten in the socket. This is normal
and will not damage the CPU. Turn the screw counter-clockwise as far as
it will go.
Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will over-heat
and cause damage to both the CPU and the single
board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off your
system and remove its cover. Locate the processor
socket 479.
